"Freshwater Fishing in South Africa is a practical and easy-to-read guide for anglers in general, but serves also as a start-up manual for those new to the sport. Inspired by his love of fishing and drawing on his experience in the field - and the accumulated knowledge of a range of fellow anglers - the author offers expert advice on all aspects of the sport. He discusses general angling skills and gives detailed information about tackle and equipment, knots and rigging, and baits, lures and flies, as well as bait-angling techniques. A survey of the main angling regions, together with a map, is followed by a round-up of the major angling species, both indigenous and introduced. He describes the challenges and tricks of bait fishing and artlure angling; and introduces the reader to the magic of fly-fishing. This freshwater fishing handbook is a lively and innovative guide, but the author never loses sight of the need to care for the environment - indeed, he promotes ways in which responsible anglers can assist conservation. The text is enlivened by colourful photographs from the albums of seasoned fishermen, and all the fish species are accompanied by full-colour illustrations. Freshwater Fishing in South Africa is an invaluable companion, both to inform and encourage the inexperienced angler, and to enhance the skills of those already hooked." - Dust jacket
