"Modern Techniques of Still Water Fly-Fishing contains a wealth of information for the still water enthusiast. Geoffrey Bucknall's clear and concise approach is designed to help the angler achieve the best possible results, whether this be on reservior, loch or lough, and whether it involves distance work with a shooting head or a precision attack with dry-fly or nymph. The various specialized casts and the intricacies of fly-tying are clearly explained with the help of illustrations, as are the problems of the right choice of tackle and the wide range of conditions the angler may expect to encounter on British still waters.
The emphasis of the book is that successful fly-fishing depends on a combination of the right tactics and an understanding of the behaviour of trout in their natural environment. Consequently, the still-water flies and lures are seen in close relation to the life-cycles of their natural counterparts and, a chapter is devoted to each main group from buzzers to sedges to nymph and 'fry'. With over twenty years experience of fly-fishing, Geoffrey Bucknall offers practical advice about the correct way to fish an 'artificial' in any situation and this book will be an invaluable guide to anyone who wishes to fish with accuracy and finesse."
