No fly fishing library is complete without this book, "Being a dissertation on the symptoms and pathology of this incurable disease by some of its victims". A collection of 21 stories gleaned from a lifetime of glorious fishing - as true as can be expected of a fisherman. These cover the whole range of the trout fishing season; there are hilarious stories that make on laugh out loud and stories that have an undercurrent of deep emotion. But each one carries that special kind of oblique humour and canniness that is Robert Traver's special trademark. Although this is not a "how-to" book, the author cannot help divulging in his stories some of the tricks of a lifetime's fishing. Hard to come by book. Softcover, 178 pages, 21,5cm x 14cm.
