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.

“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten” - Benjamin Franklin
"Be sure in casting, that your fly fall first into the water, for if the line fall first, it scares or frightens the fish..." -
Col. Robert Venables 1662
As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.
We've all had situations where seriously chewed up flies kept catching fish after fish after fish. It is no sin to tie flies that come off the vise looking seriously chewed up.
Warning:
The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.
Beware of the Dogma
