Few anglers are able to fish exclusively on the classic salmon rivers, and most rely on smaller rivers and spate streams. This book sets out to show how every angler can be a successful salmon fisherman, no matter what type of water they fish on. Practical advice is given on all aspects of fishing, including what rod, reel and line to use, the different flies and artificial lures available and how to use them, how to hook, play and land a fish successfully, and how to adapt fishing techniques to suit the circumstances. The book contains tips and ideas based on more than 30 years' experience, and should appeal to both novice and expert fishermen.

Black boards, spine titled in gilt. Minor faults. Good-plus in slightly used dust-wrapper. "Salmon can provide a fisherman with his finest sport, and there are few anglers who have not dreamt of catching a prime specimen of this king of fish. However, few anglers are able to fish exclusively (or perhaps at all) on the classic salmon rivers such as the Dee and the Spey.
