The Trout , W.E.Frost & M.E Brown
I picked up this gem in a secondhand book shop in Brecon, it is part of the Fontana New Naturalist collection...
This is one of the best books i have ever bought, it is a sciencetific look at the brown trout, anatomy physiology, habitat, water chemistry, distribution and behaviour are all covered in terrific detail and though it has a great deal of scientific content and as someone "in the game", it is very well written and presents information is a simple but non patronising manner.
Anybody who is serious about fishing for wild brown trout should track down this volume.... i would stick my neck out and say this is probably the definitive book on brown trout...it gives a deeper in site into the habits of trout and where they are to be found this can only be of benefit to the angler.
ISBN 0 00 632285,
a quick search online suggests you can pick it up second hand for about a fiver, money well spent IMO

The hardback original from Collins dated 1967 and a paperback from Fontana dated 1973. The later one has a couple of updates in it but is basically the same book.
