Trout Hunting: The Pursuit of Happiness [Hardcover]

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is one of the truly superb angling books of our time.

Trout Hunting is for those who take flyfishing's traditions seriously, and for whom it is more than just a pastime. Bob Wyatt gets to the heart of the matter in a book packed with insight and challenges to conventional thinking. Well known to readers of Fly Fishing & Fly Tying magazine, Wyatt presents a wide-ranging and entertaining investigation of some of fly-fishing's central mysteries, including a fresh look at the theory of the 'selective trout'. Trout Hunting will help get your strategies organised and inspire reflection on the nature of this fascinating pursuit.

Born in Canada, Bob Wyatt has been a fly-fisherman since the late fifties, having cut his angling teeth on the classic freestone rivers of Alberta and British Columbia. Wyatt is a regular writer for Fly Fishing & Fly Tying magazine and a frequent contributor to magazines such as Gray's Sporting Journal, Canadian Fly Fisher and Fly Rod and Reel. He was recently named runner-up in the Robert Travers Fly Fishing Fiction Award, hosted by Fly Rod & Reel magazine. An award winning artist, Wyatt resides in Scotland where he teaches painting at the Glasgow School of Art
