Inhaltsangabe

This is a completely revised expanded and updated edition of the standard work on grayling edited by the President of the Grayling Society. Ronald Broughton brings a new approach to his subject and gives the fish the importance it has long deserved. Commencing with an informative chapter on the origins and present distribution of grayling, this book then deals with the occurrence of this fish in chalk streams, stillwaters and rivers and describes grayling hotspots around the world. Fly dressings and fly-fishing techniques throughout the areas holding grayling are also described. The technique of the Polish nymph is explained and the surprisingly ancient history of the gold-head is revealed. It also covers bait-fishing and the changes in equipment over the years. Acknowledged experts from every corner of the globe have contributed advice on method, tactics and tackle together with fascinating personal anecdotes. Comprehensively illustrated in colour, and black and white, and supplemented with a list of useful addresses for the travelling angler, this classic work will, in its new and enlarged form, prove indispensable to those who wish to know all about grayling, justifiably described as the fourth game fish.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ronald Broughton qualified as a doctor at Manchester University, was a surgeon in the RAF in the occupations forces in Japan and later a general practitioner in Salford. Furniture-maker, wood-carver and turner and painter with several exhibitions to his credit, he has been fascinated by entomology ever since he observed that Dytiscus beetles and tadpoles do not live happily together in the same jar. He is a keen fisherman, a respected fly tyer and an authority on grayling and fishing worldwide. A founder member and first chairman, and now president, of the Grayling Society, he is a member of three major consultative committees, trustee and founder member of two river trusts, founder member and one-time chairman of the Institute of Fisheries Management North-West branch, chairman of the Lancashire branch of the Lancashire Fly Fishers' Association and a member of the Flyfishers' Club. He has contributed drawings and chapters on grayling to other authors' books.
