(Cape Town: Struik, 2003) 1868728404. 4to; original laminated pictorial boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 176, incl. index; lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs; maps. Lower panel of dustwrapper very slightly rubbed; occasional fox spot. Very good to near-fine condition. "African Fly-Fishing Safari is an entertaining and inspiring collection of experiences garnered from the authors' personal fly-fishing safari through southern Africa. From Zambia to the Cape and from the Indian to the Atlantic Oceans, Lesley and Karl Lane regale the reader with intelligent, witty text, and arty, atmospheric photographs. This book is in no way intended to instruct on either fly-fishing or travel, but rather to stimulate the reader's dreams and encourage plans for adventure that have been put on the back-burner for too long." .

Extremities a bit rubbed; lower joint starting; moderate foxing to edges and endpapers, occasional fox spot elsewhere; earlier owner's name signed on title page. Good condition. (Curtis 20) "[The book] truly must have been a labour of love. It has incredible detail of people, places, events of historic importance, poetry, fishing tactics and fish biology. He draws on knowledge both local and from around the world and must have had an extensive library. If you are a flyfisherman who is also interested in the glory days of rock and surf fishing, you will really enjoy this book and in particular some of his quips." - Paul Curtis: Fishing the Margins, pp. 97-98 .

Boards slightly rubbed; some foxing to endpapers, and a little spotting elsewhere. Very good. 'Every year thousands of keen anglers try their luck in False Bay. And many of them never catch anything at all. "Why need they go to all this trouble for so little reward", thought André van den Berg, "when I always succeed?" With this thought in mind he came to Irvin and Johnson's Cape Town office with his idea - a simple, handy and clear record of his own expertise to take the frustration and disappointment out of angling. ... this manual on False Bay is the result.' .

'There are,' he writes, 'two sorts of book about trout fishing. One sort has a title like "How to Catch Very Big Trout". This is the other sort of trout fishing book.' In other words, it's a book about fly-fishing that doesn't take itself too seriously and will be rapturously welcomed by all those who fish for pleasure rather than for trophies. ... The great joy of Jon Beer's writing is that he can convey the full flavour of a day's fishing in a way that enables readers… Read More

In fact, very little has been published worldwide that comes even close to matching it. The photographs in the book, by husband and wife team Peter and Beverley Pickford, are breathtaking and must rank as some of the finest ever taken of our sport and of the countryside in which we pursue it. The text, written by well-known playwright, columnist and flyfisherman, Robert Brandon-Kirby, is on a par with the photographs: always interesting, often insightful and sometimes quite beautiful in… Read More

"Freshwater Fishing in South Africa is a practical and easy-to-read guide for anglers in general, but serves also as a start-up manual for those new to the sport. Inspired by his love of fishing and drawing on his experience in the field - and the accumulated knowledge of a range of fellow anglers - the author offers expert advice on all aspects of the sport. He discusses general angling skills and gives detailed information about tackle and equipment, knots and rigging, and baits, lures and flies, as well as bait-angling techniques. A survey of the main angling regions, together with a map, is followed by a round-up of the major angling species, both indigenous and introduced. He describes the challenges and tricks of bait fishing and artlure angling, and introduces the reader to the magic of fly-fishing." .

Angevuur deur hierdie idee het hy nou 'n helder, eenvoudige en nuttige uiteensetting van die hengelkuns geskryf om talle hengelaars van frustrasie te verlos. … Vir diegene wat weet waar, hoe en wanneer om te hengel, is Valsbaai 'n hengelaarsparadys, maar soos enige ander stryd verg dit voorbereiding, kennis en ondervinding as jy nie bedroë daarvan wil afkom nie. Met Kom hengel in Valsbaai as basis, is sukses binne die bereik van elke hengelaar. Daarna is… Read More

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 .

Spine sunned, and two corners of wraps creased; some highlighting. Good condition. "This new edition of a standard work was written to bring the principles of trout culture up-to-date, not only for those who are coming fresh into the business, but for those others too busy producing fish to keep up with new ideas. New farming methods have been matched by ingenious equipment, but successful trout farming still rests on the knowledge of the farmer and his ability to grow and handle live fish. A whole catalogue of density-dependent fish diseases have followed in the wake of intensive production and a good 'fish master' must have a wide and thorough grasp of his trade. In preparing this edition the author has reviewed all the original text and added much new material, specifically relating to the use of floating cages, pollution, fish… Read More

(Curtis, p. 150) "The Trout and the Kingfisher is a small selection of some of the hundreds of articles that have appeared in Piscator, the official journal of the Cape Piscatorial Society, since its first publication circa 1946. ... The book works well as a record of what the fishing was like in the early days through the eyes of the flyfishermen of the time and is not meant to be, I believe a 'best of' the Piscator. ... It is well worth getting a copy of The Trout and the Kingfisher, both for its content and because it will definitely whet your appetite for hunting out more stories from Piscator magazines of the past." - Paul Curtis: Fishing the Margins .
