It sets out the conditions trout need to thrive and describes the rivers and dams of the Cape, Natal, Orange Free State and Transvaal where they are found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBob Crass also covers fly-fishing techniques, the history of trout introduction and the people who drove it, and the management of trout waters. The book gives a balanced hearing to the debate over trout as an alien species in South African rivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is cited in academic work on the early history of trout hatcheries and stocking in Natal, and in conservation scholarship on trout and indigenous fish. It remains a useful reference for collectors of Africana angling and natural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: Bob Crass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Sanderson \"Bob\" Crass (1921-2011) was a South African fisheries scientist.
