Trout Fishing on Hill Streams

Richard Clapham

Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh, London 1947

Hardcover, 112 pages

7 1/2 x 5 in.

Good condition. Dust jacket shows wear. Illegible inscription inside.

This is the sort of stream the author writes about, and the fishing on it. He has a quality of infectious enthusiasm that makes one appreciate his digressions and hints to describe some memorable day, when the conditions were just right and the fish almost jumped into the creel. He advocates simpler equipment and more skill in the using of it as the way to heavy baskets.
