The Field
An accessible and informative guide stocked with practical advice
Product Description
There is a hugely rich diversity of trout fishing to be enjoyed the length and breadth of the UK and Ireland. With this book, her fifth for Swan Hill Press, Lesley Crawford sets out to explain in detail how differing local trout tactics have evolved and just why these specialist skills remain so successful. There is a deal of difference between taking a traditional drift on a vast Irish lough and threading a dry fly through the lush greenery of an English chalkstream or from stalking elusive Welsh sewin to making the best of Scottish mayfly fishing. This book compares and explains the many subtle differences in flies, tactics and techniques used across the British Isles. Quite simply, it's a must for dedicated trout anglers everywhere.

I own all of Lesley Crawford`s past books and have
always found them to be enjoyably written, well illustrated and meticulously
researched. `Trout Fishing in the UK and Ireland' is no exception but it is
not a book to be delved into randomly. I really enjoyed reading it as a
carefully thought out adventure through the development of UK trout angling
as we have come to know it today. I particularly liked the little nuggets of
research which brought to light little known aspects of our fishing history.
For example did you know that dry fly fishing on the Test may have come
about from copying Irish dapping? No neither did I. Be confident that this
is a book to be read with relish by the fireside. - Highly recommended.

I have just read parts of this book and found it to be extremely vague and frustrating, it does not explain any techniques or tactics, it is has useless photographs showing selections of flies which are not identified, I just do not know who this book is written for, I believe it is useless for the novice and just as bad for the experienced. I am thankful that I have not bought this book and can fully understand why there are so many for sale second hand.
