It is more than double the size of the first edition, published in 1962, and contains innumerable drawings and photographs which admirably illustrate the flies, the means, the methods and the tackle used to take this shyest of fish. The text is beautifully written, clear, precise, authoritative, and full of humour and good nature and the feel of the river." (Conrad Voss Bark in the Flyfishers' Journal, Summer 1976). .
