This book considers every aspect of the magic of fishing. From the very waters we fish and the reasons for the differences in character between them, through the fish and the insects that form their diet, to the tackle and tactics required to take trout, sea trout and grayling from streams and rivers of all types. In the process, it sweeps away many of the inaccurate myths and much of the off-putting mystique that has been built up around fast-water flyfishing over the years. This book will appeal to the beginner and to the more experienced river angler. For the newcomer to the sport, every aspect of tackle selection, casting, choice of fly and method presentation is covered clearly and in detail. For those wishing to improve their performances or broaden their piscatorial horizons, there is much sound advice and food for thought.
