"Brian Clarke is one of the world's most famous fly fishermen and also one of the leading writers on the sport. A compilation of his most important articles from the last thirty years, this book is essential reading for anyone who is interested in catching fish with rod and line by any methods, but particularly by Brian's favourite method for his favourite fish - the pursuit of the trout with a fly. His experience shines through every page and gives a whole new perspective on how to catch fish, or why you can't catch fish, or why you won't catch fish. He also looks at the threats to the fish themselves and why the fisherman has been the very first person to highlight what we are doing to the world below the surface of the water. It is a distillation of a lifetime's experience and will give everyone who reads it a better understanding of both the fisherman and the fish they pursue. Brian is world famous for his book (with John Goddard) The Trout and the Fly, which revolutionized fly fishing and is an international bestseller. He is the fishing correspondent of The Times - a column that is required reading for every fisherman."
