The Trout Lochs of Scotland

For many fly fishers, Scotland is more than a destination. It is a land of mist-covered glens, heather-clad hills, ancient castles and countless wild lochs where brown trout have risen to a well-presented fly for generations. Bruce Sandison's classic work has deservedly earned its reputation as one of the definitive references on Scottish trout fishing. Far more than a fishing guide, it is an encyclopaedia of Scotland's trout lochs, drawing together the sort of local knowledge that anglers usually spend a lifetime collecting. Covering hundreds of lochs and lochans throughout the Highlands, Lowlands, Western Isles, Orkney and Shetland, Sandison provides detailed information on access, fishing permissions, trout populations, productive areas, fly patterns, local facilities and the unique character of each fishery. Whether you're planning a DIY pilgrimage to Scotland's legendary trout waters or simply dreaming beside the fire, this book opens the door to some of the finest wild brown trout fishing on Earth. Today, guides of this depth and authority have become increasingly difficult to find. For anyone who has ever traced the blue shapes of Scottish lochs across a map and wondered what secrets they might hold, this is the sort of reference that quickly becomes indispensable. B&w photographs throughout. Very good condition. Hardcover, 22.5cm x 14.5cm, 285 pages.
