FISHING: COARSE, GAME AND SEA. By Bruce Vaughan.

2010 1st edition. Large 8vo (240 x 335mm). Pp256. Colour photographs. Pictorial laminate boards.

This is a good introduction to coarse, sea and game angling. Well worth a read for the beginner and not as basic as so many books of a similar ilk. This book has been through many editions and many different titles and the three different sections have also been published separately however I believe it was first published as The Practical Fishing Encyclopedia (Lorenz Books, 1999). Contents for this edition include:- Coarse Fishing: Introduction; Coarse species; Watercraft; Coarse fishing baits; Coarse fishing tackle; Coarse fishing methods. Game Fishing: Introduction; Game species; Salmon fishing methods; Sea trout fishing methods; Wild brown trout in stillwaters; Brown and rainbow trout in rivers; Reservoirs trout fishing; Small stillwater trout fishing; Grayling fishing. Sea Fishing: Introduction; Sea-fishing species; Artificial sea baits; Natural sea baits; Shore fishing; Boat fishing; Fly-fishing for sea fish. Also, an additional chapter, Fishing abroad, by John Wilson.
