"This is a sympathetic guide to fly-fishing for trout. Its foundations are eleven entirely new PRINCIPLES OF INCOMPLEAT ANGLING. Its advice is practical, across the whole subject, from choosing a rod to cooking the catch. It is for the beginner who can distinguish a trout only because it has a plastic label stuck through it on a fishmonger's slab. Richard Gordon has for half a century been an utterly incompleat angler... But he takes his angling with tender studiousness... His wit, perception and flashing phrase make Instant Fishing one of the funniest serious books ever written".
