With authority and humour the authors discuss the families of freshwater sporting fishes which have for so long fascinated anglers; the powerful and majestic salmon, the vivacious trout, the artful carp and the two species about which there is probably most contention- the pikes and perches. With the emphasis mainly on Britain, there is a special coverage of fishing in the Irish lakes. Continental fishing is included, and there is a chapter devoted to America’s most popular freshwater fishes, the largemouth and smallmouth bass.
