# An attempt to "...straighten out the muddle of suppositions, theories and discoveries which had been produced by anglers and scientists in the matter of a trout's apparently inconsistent habits and behaviour." The idea of this book was originally that of H.T. Sheringham who, unfortunately, passed away before he could put pen to paper. Chapters include: What is a trout stream; The problem of the spawning bed; The problem of trout growth; The problem of the size limit; The problem of the rise; The problem of the olive; The problem of improving fly hatches; Summer-fly problems; The problem of the dry fly; Casting problems; Nymph problems in theory; Nymph problems in practice; The angler and the underwater nymph; Rainbow trout: the problem of their introduction; Rainbow trout: the problem of their acclimatization; Is it possible to make a trout stream?
