Written for those anglers, particularly those who flyfish on rivers, who wish to advance their insight into the entomological and presentational aspects of flyfishing. Each chapter contains Dave Southall’s thoughts on various aspects of the sport, from watercraft and the location of fish to tactics and fly design, conservation and fishery management. It impresses on the reader how important conservation and good river management are if there is to be good quality fishing with self-sustaining stocks of wild fish. The author suggests that the main requirements for consistent success as a flyfisher are an enquiring and open mind, an observant nature, plus a willingness to learn. 2023 1st edition.
