This is a second (revised and updated) edition with additional information on trout vision and fly patterns.

The Author explains his fascination with migratory trout (sea trout). He describes the problems faced when trying to catch fish programmed not feed when returned to fresh water. The lessons given by some “Old Timers” on his Devon (UK) river are recounted. He explains how their tactics were adapted and then successfully employed.

Fascinating reading for all trout fishermen.
