Arranged alphabetically, the entries include natural history, habits and habitat, the cooking of fish, the history and development of tackle and the different methods of catching fish. It also covers subjects as diverse as angling literature and the effects of acid rain on fish. Hugh Falkus is a writer, naturalist and broadcaster of wildlife films.

Book Description (Paperback, 1978). (1975) ND [1976] 1st paperback edition. 4to paperback (182 x 248mm). Ppviii,520. Colour frontispiece, 2 tipped-in colour plates, b/w photographs, illustrations. Edges soiled, corners rubbed. A good reading copy of the first paperback edition. "Falkus and Buller's Freshwater Fishing is a classic: a book which no one with an intelligent interest in angling can afford to be without . A book of tackle and techniques, with some notes on various fishes; fish recipes; fishing safety and other sundry matters". An encyclopaedic work encompassing all aspects of British freshwater fishing. The authors' passion for research, their love of angling, even their avowed interest in the culinary qualities of their catch, seem to me a healthier approach to the subject than that of many writers of today, whose over-emphasis on technical and conservation aspects seem to take much of the excitement and spontaneity of fishing. Part I covers fishes, Part II rigs, tackles and methods of capture, with some reference to American ideas. This is the first paperback edition. It carries only the original publication date of 1975 but was actually issued in 1976. The correct ISBN is 0354043358, as printed on the rear cover. The ISBN printed within the book refers to the 1975 hardcover first edition. . Seller Inventory # 15226
