Before I begin to evaluate his success, let me add the hasty disclaimer that I am in no position to judge the accuracy and quality of many, if not most, of B's suggestions on angling strategy. As a novice fisherman, I don't have the experience. Hopefully this review will enable you to make a more informed decision about whether Presentation will fit your needs. The book is divided into three parts. There is also an annotated bibliography and an excellent index.
Chapter One discusses in good detail what trout can see, hear, and feel in the water.
Here he explains in greater detail the Prime Lies, Feeding Lies, and Sheltering Lies which are familiar to those who have seen his videos. B. also discusses how to find fish in lakes. Obviously B. can not, in a 37 page chapter, present anything near complete information on all of these food sources, but he has managed to present a great deal of useful information. B gives details intended to help you fish imitations of the naturals rather than pinpoint their taxonomy. At my skill level, the former is far more useful.
