This book should appeal not only to aspirant and experienced trout anglers, but also to those interested in conservation of our rivers, and those who seek information on how trout fit into the life of this country. This book is primarily intended for those who already have an interest in fly fishing, those who visit trout areas, land owners and conservation-minded people. For other readers the book is of value both as a practical guide and for basic information on a fascinating addition to the indigenous life of South Africa. The book starts off by indicating what trout require to live and flourish. Next comes an account of the natural streams and man-made lakes in the Cape, Natal, the Free State and Transvaal where trout occur. Part three is intended for those who want to know something of the technicalities of fly fishing, while part four tells about the history of trout in South Africa and the people concerned with trout at the time. The final part looks at management of trout waters, with an eye to the future. Hardcover, 207 pages, 23cm x 16cm.
