ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1987). (1960) 1987 2nd edition. Small 8vo (135 x 205mm). Pp125. Line illustrations by Gavin Rowe. New foreword by Sir Geoffrey Cox. Blue boards, spine titled in silver-gilt. Very good copy in dust-wrapper. The Truim is a tributary of the Spey which runs close to the A9 in Inverness-shire. Hall's mandate from the series editors was to produce a "How to fish" guide to trout fishing in the lesser rivers of the Scottish Highlands. However he went far beyond that with a lyrical history of his long association with this particular stream and a cast-by-cast description of many miles of water. His preferred method was the dry fly and as he fishes upstream, almost from the confluence with the Spey to the distillery at Dalwhinnie, he describes every stone, twist and turn, with tales of trout caught and lost - some of them two- or three-pounders. There are a few diversions to Loch Ericht and other waters, but this is basically an intimate description of this one Highland stream. .

About this title

Synopsis

Book by Hall, John Inglis

From the Back Cover

Fishing a Highland Stream was originally published more than thirty years ago under the title How to Fish a Highland Stream. But it has substantially transcended its "how to" genre. It is a remarkably intimate and affecting memoir of a thoughtful man's long relationship with a river - a true classic of fly fishing that reaches out to everyone who practices the sport.Hall loves the Truim, "a hard little burn," more each season that he fishes it. But he also loves Dalwhinnie, the nearby village, the rugged country through which the river flows, the lochs that lie near it, and the unique inhabitants of the region, with whom he develops close relationships. What we have, then, is the finest kind of memoir: the enchanting portrait of a place of remote beauty, a fascinating river that reveals it secrets only after much effort, and the account of an inveterate dry-fly fisherman who revels in the experience of a river filled with a haunting, "lonely magic."This book is an absolute delight. (5 3/4 X 8 1/2, 132 pages, map, illustrations)
