The only fish that I have ever caught were either in cans or battered ready for the deep fat fryer. I'm not just a novice at fishing, neither fishing rod or net has ever been in my hands. But after reading this truly excellent short guide to the mysteries and delights of trout fishing, I feel like rushing out to the nearest fishing supplies shop and kitting myself out for long enjoyable days ambushing rainbow and brown trout in a mountain stream.The author of this manual has compiled almost all the information that might be needed to make a super proficient trout fisher out of the rankest amateur. As well as loads of information on all the equipment needed, there are some very useful guidelines on fishing techniques and enough on the natural history of the various trout species to satisfy even the most discerning of naturalists.Finally, I would like to add that the book is very well written and a pleasure to read. You don't even have to be a fisherman to enjoy it.
