“This is the best fishing book I have read for a very long time. The culmination of eight years of research by the author . . . it is a masterpiece . . . there is much wisdom and food for thought here and I defy any salmon fisherman, no matter how long he has fished the Tweed, not to benefit from the author's experience, which so far has given him more than 1,000 fish to his own rod... I cannot praise this book too highly. If it doesn't become a classic among fishing books I will eat my fly-box.”

Sandy Leventon, Trout & Salmon
