Tom Sutcliffe is a South African fly-fishing icon, and his Hunting Trout is the result of a lifetime spent pursuing trout. It is a mammoth work and one which I believe will  in time take its place among literary greats like Mguanes Longest Silence, and Heys Rapture of the River. It provides enough technical content to increase any experts 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
This elusive first edition was sold out in a blink of an eye and went to a second printing within the space of a year from the first impression. It has now been reprinted a third time, and after this there will be no further reprints.
I have written six books on fly fishing and carry stock of three of them, The Elements of Fly Tying, Shadows on the Stream Bed and Hunting Trout (second edition). The first three books are out of print.

A collectable in its own right, and also a book for those who delight in fishing sport.
