Had some cracking books this year:

1) Trout Hunting - The Pursuit of Happiness: Bob Wyatt - a brilliant book with just the right blend of philosophical reflection and insightful gems on how to approach the game.

2) Czech Nymphing and Other Related Methods - Karel Krivanec & Friends. Given the success of these guys - probably the most unselfish treatise on "how to" that I have come across.

3) What The Trout Said - Datus Proper. Not started yet but a quick skim has confirmed this as being a great choice.

I'm being harsh on the the English edition's publisher more than of Karel who's content is superb.
I found it, and others have, to be tedious reading. I wonder who bought it for you and for what motive?

Wait until he moves on to these two .... they'll be mining tungsten from the bed of the Monnow!

Hi Bruce... it is a bit dry in places, but it is full of excellent information and insight. Lots of info on leader set-ups etc, really good stuff I'd say.

My mum - bless her - ordered mine from Coch-y-Bonddu. Excellent service as always.
