ANGLER’S CUNNING
Trout and How to Catch Them. By Pat Castle. Oliver and Boyd. 80 PP.
This further reprinting of Pat Castle’s little book should be welcomed by all anglers, expert and tyro alike. Much of it inevitably has little application in New Zealand, but it is amazing how accurately observations made on English lakes and streams apply in this country. Many New Zealand anglers will agree, for instance. with his assertion that the Greenwell’s Glory is the best of all flies, though it was dressed to imitate a fly which fish were taking well one day on the Tweed: and what Canterbury angler would disagree with his ’nclusion of “a hard dry wind and bright sun” in his list of times “When Not to Fish.”
