Synopsis
Trout see a world invisible to man -- the world of ultraviolet light. You can now meet them in that world. Through abundant photographs and clear text the author illuminates the remarkable distinctions between the vision of man and the broader vision of trout, revealing for the first time flies, fly tying materials, and insects in both visible light and reflected ultraviolet light. In this groundbreaking work, the author presents new scientific discoveries in the understanding of trout vision and illustrates how these discoveries benefit the discerning scientific angler. Complementing the text and photos are the drawings and cartoons of Eric Reaves - longtime cartoonist for Jim Davis of the "Garfield" comic strip.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 2009). 2009 1st edition. Paperback. 4to paperback (217 x 280mm). Pp146. Colour and UV photographs, b/w vignette cartoon illustrations by Eric Reeves. Very good. The author explores the significance of ultraviolet light to the trout and the angler. "Did you ever ask: Why does a Royal Coachman, which doesn't imitate any natural insect, appear as an insect to trout? why use "a dark fly on a dark day"? Why will a pattern work well one day to imitate a hatching mayfly, but the same pattern is refused the very next day during the same hatch? why did the old-timers insist on natural blue dun hackle?" We might think that flies look plausible but the trout see it differently. Well worth a read. . Seller Inventory # 61701
