Synopsis:

A Passion for Trout is Mick O'Farrell's first book and covers a lifetimes fly-fishing experiences in the UK and Ireland. The book contains some 400 fly patters, along with detailed tying descriptions of each, all photographed by Peter Gathercole. The first three chapters cover Mick O'Farrells extensive experiences of fly-fishing on stillwaters, lakes and rivers. The final chapter explores the authors thoughts on competition fishing, catch-and-release and the future of our sport. Dotted throughout the various chapters are a number of amusing tales and anecdotes which bring the book to life.

About the Author: Born in Tipperary Ireland, I was thought how to fly-fish by my father on the banks of the River Suir. I learned how to tie flies from a very young age, and have always enjoyed tinkering around the edges and being creative. Some thirty years ago I moved to England with my wife and eldest son David, in search of work and managed to contine my passion for fly-fishing on its many reservoirs in the Midlands.I decided to write my first book after being made redundant in June 2008, and with the assistance of Peter Gathercole I completed the project and launched "A Passion for Trout" in my home town of Cahir in Ireland in May of this year.
