A Fish Will Rise

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.).…
