There has long been a divide between flyfishing and coarse fishing - but there is no reason for it This book shows you how to fish in a new way, showing flyfishers and coarse anglers the benefits of both areas of the sport.

This colourful, lively book is aimed at complete beginners of all ages, and those who have been out fishing a couple of times and want to take it further. It outlines what you need to know to experience the joy of getting out there, alone or with family and friends, and enjoying a day or an afternoon fishing - and catching, whether it's mackerel, pike or trout. The book is endorsed by the Angling Trust and it has everything a beginner would need to know about the basics: species, tackle, bait, tactics and watercraft.

- Catching trout simplified - A brilliantly written and well-crafted exposes fly fishing's greatest myths--selectivity, matching the hatch, pressured fish, fish feeling pain, precise imitations, drag-free drifts - Recipes for the author's tried-and-true patterns - Practical, down-to-earth suggestions for catching fish
