Book Description (Hardcover, 1969 ). 1969 1st edition. 8vo (145 x 223mm). Pp250. Colour frontispiece photograph, b/w photographs. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Foreword by Bernard Venables. Slight browning to edges and end-papers. Good-plus in used and tanned dust-wrapper. Mostly Irish salmon and sea-trout in lough, river and saltwater. "Mr Spencer has fished so widely, so steadily, so thoughtfully; he has within his record the solving and explanation of so many of the day-to-day problems of individual fish, that the teaching of the book has a penetrative authenticity. And, as I expected, that authenticity is intensified by his retention of atmosphere, his conveying the feeling of each day and place. I can feel the soft scrunch of the heather, smell it and the rivery earth in the summer sun of sea-trout and salmon time.This is a satisfying and lingering book for fishers of sea-trout and salmon. I anticipate re-reading when next good fortune takes me to such places as have served him so well." Bernard Venables in the Foreword to Newly From The Sea. . Seller Inventory # 38850
