No sport has more participants than fishing, and no branch of it is growing faster than fly fishing. Its only limiting factor has been the opportunity to practice it, and opportunity means water fit for trout, the flyfishers' classic quarry. This book is the standard authority for the provision or improvement of sport in such waters. For clubs, landowners, farmers and tenants wishing to exploit their sporting rights more fully, this is an irreplaceable handbook.
