An older book, The Complete fly Fisher, by Peter Lapsley. Covers most things from casting to flies, (trout/sea-trout/salmon/grayling) river/lough/stillwater fishing, insects, fly dressing, fish management and so on. You should be able to pick it up for a couple of quid at a 2nd hand bookstore, or ebay.

Best regards
Jim

100% agree,An excellent choice.but might be easier to get ''Trout from stillwaters'' by the same author.Highly recomended.

The Sotheby's Guide to Fly-Fishing for Trout by Charles Jardine and The Essential Guide to Fly Fishing by Nick Hart are another two that are well worth a look.
