A beginner's guide to coarse and flyfishing. "The book is separated into two sections that explore aspects of both game fishing and coarse fishing. The many types of equipment and their respective applications, such as the different kinds of lines, rods, hooks, floats, flies and baits are all carefully examined. The lifecycles, breeding patterns and characteristics of different types of fish are also described. The authors outline the numerous fishing methods that can be tried, depending on the type of water you are at and the species you are after. Just some of the methods explained are wet fly and dry fly fishing on stillwaters, trout fishing in rivers, and chalkstream tactics, fishing for carp, roach, chub, pike, perch and grayling. Strategies and techniques are given for you to try depending on the exact circumstances and you are taught how to play and land the fish once they have been caught. A glossary is also included to acquaint you with the jargon of fishing."
