Notes: As I looked out of my window at the magical little river Lyd, on a cold, bright February morning. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the stream and the thought of a new trout-fishing season about to start. This latest book by Peter Lapsley captures so perfectly the charm and the challenge of river fly-fishing for trout, sea-trout and grayling. It is a book that will appeal equally to the experienced angler and to the newcomer. It covers every aspect of the sport, from its history, the rivers we fish, the characteristics of the fish, their habits and food, to the tackle and techniques used to catch them.
