River Fly Fishing : The Complete Guide
There has long been a need for a comprehensive guide to river fly-fishing for trout and grayling in the rivers of the UK. Peter Lapsley, in his masterly treatment of the subject, reveals that, far from being the restricted pleasure of the wealthy, river fly-fishing is widely available throughout the country at reasonable cost, providing anglers with a wonderful variety of opportunities. Armed with this book, both novice and experienced fly-fishers will gain from the author's clear, concise and handsomely illustrated instructions. The history of river fly-fishing; the types and natures of the streams and rivers in which trout, sea trout and grayling are found; the behaviour of the fish and of the creatures they eat; tackle, equipment, flies and knots; casting techniques and problem-solving; times and seasons; dry fly, nymph and wet fly fishing; and finding inexpensive and readily accessible waters - all these and more make "River Fly-Fishing" a truly complete guide to the sport.
Peter Lapsley has fished for trout, sea trout and grayling in the UK and overseas for over forty-five years. He is a nationally qualified game angling instructor - STANIC and APGAI ('Trout & Sea Trout' and 'Fly Tying'), has written, co-written or edited eight previous angling books, including the bestseller, Fly Fishing by J.R. Hartley, to which he was fly-fishing adviser, and has contributed countless articles to a wide range of British and overseas game angling and field sports magazines. He owned and ran a successful trout fishery in Hampshire for several years in the 1980s. Although he now lives and works in London, fishing chiefly on the chalk streams of southern England, Peter retains a passion for the lovely wild-trout waters of Scotland, Wales and Ireland, of the North of England and of the West Country.
Some Reviews of this books from other Anglers:
A well written must have for the fly-fisherman
A well laid out, well written and easy to dip into 'must have' for fly-fishermen. From details about the fish themselves to patterns and tatics, this book covers many things you need to know and the photographs are superb. I would highly recommend it.
A professional game angling instructors view
Peter Lapsley's book is clearly written and is an easy and very informatative read particularly for any newcomer to game angling. Peter takes the reader carefully through step by step and explains all the necessary information a game angler needs as he progresses along his career in game angling. As a long serving holder of APGAI (Advanced Proffessional Game Angling Instructor)and Vice Chairman of the Association of Advanced Professional Game Angling Instructors I will be recommending "River Fly-Fishing: The Complete Guide" to all our game angling instructors members as the perfect book for them to advise and recommend with confidance to their clients.
A beautiful and authoritative book
This is a beautifully presented and accessibly written book by one of the country's foremost experts. It has something for everyone and the lovely photographs are a particular delight.
