Very good condition.  

Tom Sutcliffe is a South African fly-fishing icon, and his Hunting Trout is the result of a lifetime spent pursuing trout. It provides enough technical content to increase any expert's knowledge tenfold, including delightful chapters on presentations, fishing dry flies and nymphs and fishing stillwaters; as well as being a wonderful treatise on tying flies, including the authors favourites. His wonderful prose will keep you spellbound throughout. I welcome this book as will all anglers.  [- Dean Riphagen]

A book like Hunting Trout emerges from the rich mulch of a lifetime of fly-fishing, and it brings the ripe fruits of broad experience and shrewd observation. That Tom Sutcliffe is the rarest of companions in piscatorial prose - wise, gentle, modest, inquiring and full of practical knowledge - makes our travels with him, from a first trout to a glorious autumn sojurn, all the more rewarding. Hunting trout is a happy admixture of anecdote and practical advice, the two brands of writing coalescing seamlessly.  [- Nick Lyons]
