"A trout scientist and an outstanding photographer, both expert anglers, combine forces in this book to help anglers understand trout and thus catch more and bigger fish. In a mixture of plain-language science, fishing anecdotes and illustrations, they explain how an understanding of trout behavior, senses, biology and habitat, the seasons and the physical environment will make angling more productive and rewarding. While the authors live in the South Island of New Zealand, the book draws on their experience and research from throughout the world, and will be relevant in all fisheries where brown, rainbow and other trout occur." --Publisher's description.
