London, Frederick Muller Limited, 1980. 25. xi, 101 (10) pages. Original Hardcover with original illustrated dustjacket. In protective Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear.

Includes for example the following chapters: Tackle and casting/ Fly-dressing for still water/ Bank-fishing/ Boat-fishing/ Lure fishing/ Fishing the buzzer/ Fishing the sedge-fly/ Dry-fly fishing/ Fishing the ‘fry’/ Nymph fishing/ Impressions etc.

The emphasis of the book is that successful fly-fishing depends on a combination of the right tactics and an understanding of the behaviour of trout in their natural environment. Consequently, the still-water flies and lures are seen in close relation to the life-cycles of their natural counter-parts, and a chapter is devoted to each main group- from buzzers and sedges to nymphs and ‘fry’. With over twenty years experience of fly-fishing, Bucknall offers practical advice about the correct way to fish an ‘artificial’ in any situation, and this book will be an invaluable guide to anyone who wishes to fish with accuracy and finesse.
