ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (s/hand, Hardcover, 1972). 1972 1st edition thus. 8vo (142 x 223mm). Pp122. B/w illustrations by Val Biro. Dark blue or grey boards, spine titled in gilt. Ex-library with usual various faults. Reading copy only in dust-wrapper. Reflections and reminiscences of flyfishing the Welsh Border streams. "Fishing books may teach or may beguile. This is not a teaching book and to say that it is a beguiling one would be to claim kinship with better men, for to beguile, so my dictionary tells me, is to divert attention from anything tedious or painful, and to do that a writer needs a goose quill or a nib of gold. We may assume that the first was used by the author of The Compleat Angler, and the second by the author of Where the Bright Waters Meet. I, alas, have had to make do with a ballpoint. However, if these reflections and recollections lighten an hour or two, that ubiquitous instrument will have served a not ignoble end." (taken from the author's foreword). Chapters include:- Along the river bank; My first trout stream; Fooled by a caterpillar; The lie of the trout; In search of the black gnat; Rising the non-risers; Unhappy mixtures; Mercies large and small; Fast by a brook; Skues of the Itchen; The fly and the driver; Epicures in still waters; Persuasion with the wet fly; A movable feast; Teachers and preachers; Fred Shaw: Fisherman extraordinary; Greenheart and cane; Days of perch and dace; Game or gamin?; Izaak Walton re-visited; Bank clearing by numbers; Fringe benefits; The good-sized trout; I alway call him 'Sir'; In praise of river keepers. .

Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Val Biro (illustrator). First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. A Fish Will Rise. The reflections and reminiscences of a lifelong fly-fisherman, this delightfully-written book does not set out to teach, though it does embrace much of what the author has discovered from the writing of some of the great anglers of the past. Fishing wet, dry and with the nymph, for trout, gayling and those few coarse fish that will take the fly, he ranges widely between such differing venues as small, secret trout pools, chalk streams, Welsh mountain brooks and the lesser-known waters of the pastoral Midlands. Writing with equal felicity on freshwater biology and riverside ecology, on stream improvement and in praise of river-keepers, he recalls the quiet pleasures of the waterside with a charm that country lovers everywhere, anglers or not, will find it difficult to resist. Illustrations. 122 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
