Trout from Small Stillwaters - Hardcover
Fishing in small stillwaters in an aspect of game fishing which now attracts an increasing number of UK fly-fishers. This is a guide to the practical issues, such as the operation of small stillwaters; membership and location; the types of fish available; rearing and stocking policies; the clarity, depth and water-flow on the fisheries; and tackle requirements. An extensive look at standard techniques includes the most basic starting up, cover casting, line control, retrieves, playing and netting. Tactics for the more advanced are also detailed - choice of line densities, dry-fly methods, Chironomid fishing and emerger patterns - and there is coverage of more general topics such as the ethics of the sport, management of stillwater fisheries, and the competitive scene. The author's other books include "Big Trout Fishing" and "An Introduction to Fly Tying".

About the Author:
Peter Cockwill has a lifetime's experience as a fly fisher and is recognized as the authority on trout fishing in small stillwaters: this is his fifth book. His experience as a writer, speaker, fishing instructor, fishery manager, consultant and extraordinary angler have made him very well known. Notwithstanding this, Peter still retains an enduring need "to simply be out fishing for whatever happens to be there". Resident - Surrey Peter Gathercole is a vastly experienced fly fisher whose words and photographs have appeared in countless magazines. His encyclopaedic knowledge of fly tying has led to three best-selling books on the subject. Peter is a gifted angler, naturalist and journalist and principal photographer to the premier UK magazines, Trout and Salmon and Trout Fisherman.
