A classic and highly collectible South African angling book that combines trout fishing with observations on rivers, landscapes, wildlife and the deeper pleasures of spending time beside running water. Rather than being simply a technical manual, it explores the attitude and philosophy of the fisherman – the patience, observation, solitude and appreciation of nature that make trout fishing rewarding. For the fly fisher, the appeal lies particularly in its sense of place and its evocation of Natal’s trout streams, giving the reader an insight into an important part of South Africa’s angling heritage. It is likely to appeal to anglers interested not only in catching trout, but in the traditions, atmosphere and experiences surrounding stream fishing. B&w drawings throughout. Good vintage condition. Hardcover, 19cm x 12cm, 123 pages.
