SALMON TAKING TIMES. By R.V. Righyni.
1965 1st edition. 8vo (145 x 222mm). Pp135. Colour plate of flies, b/w ills. Green cloth, spine titled in gilt.
"What makes a salmon take a lure? Are the responsive moods of salmon predictable? These are the fundamental questions which Salmon Taking Times sets out to answer. The author... asserts that the most important single factor affecting changes in the salmon's behaviour is the supply of oxygen...it follows that the successful angler must pay the closest attention to variations in atmospheric conditions [which cause variations in the oxygen content of the water]." With an Introduction by Bernard Venables and a Commentary by Terry Thomas.
