The Suggestive Flyfisher. South African Trout Tactics and Flies

(Johannesburg: Classic Trout Promotions, 1987) 0620118555. 8vo; laminated pictorial boards; pp. 64; colour photographs. Boards a little rubbed; foxing to endpapers, occasional fox spot elsewhere. Good condition. "This short but valuable book is essential reading for any South African flyfisherman who wants more out of the sport than chucking and chancing. It's a basic primer on the aquatic insects relevant to trout fishing and has some very useful suggestions on how to fish and what fly to use during the various hatches that occur on South African stillwaters. All the methods suggested have been tested empirically by Malcolm Meintjes through many hours, days and months of fishing and include one on how to fish during a hatch of caenis (also known as 'the angler's curse')." - Curtis: Fishing the Margins - A History and Complete Bibliography of Fly Fishing in South Africa .
