Chapman Pincher is best known as an investigative journalist and writer about spies and intelligence affairs, but his first and abiding love has been for the British countryside. While his professional interests appear to be centred on Whitehall and Westminster, he has always been a self-styled "bumpkin", devoted to country life and country sports. This book is the story of how, while producing an emormous output of news reports, features and books, he managed to achieve his youthful ambition of living as closely as possible, with limited means, the life of a country squire". including sport with Beaverbrook, Sopwith, Mountbatten, Nickerson. .

Slight use and tanning but good-plus in slightly used dust-wrapper. An interesting discussion of the authors and literature of Scottish angling, up to the end of the twentieth century, including an anthology of 117 short extracts from the works discussed. An interesting read, and a useful guide to what is available. For the bibliographer and the bluffer (I'm sure the author didn't see it that way, but life is short), Simmonds gives some guidance as to content and quality. Professor Norman Willison Simmonds, ScD, AICTA, FIBiol., was a fly-fisherman, geneticist and internationally renowned expert on tropical food crops, particularly the banana. He began his career as a professional agronomist in the tropics but spent the last forty years of his life as an academic in Scotland. There, he applied himself to trout fishing, in between being Director of the Scottish Plant Breeding Institue and a member of the Edinburgh School of Agriculture, amongst many other positions. He wrote numerous books and countless articles, some on fishing, most on the genetics and practicalities of food crops. .

(Paperback, 1998). 1998 1st edition. 8vo paperback (152 x 218mm). Pp110. Colour photographs, b/w illustrations, brief bibliography. Slight signs of use/ slight creases to cover but a very good second-hand paperback. Professor Threadgold guides us through the Footprint Fly system: he identifies the factors which attract a trout's attention as a natural fly drifts into its window and devises patterns which do just that. The patterns are refined aerodynamically so that they land the right way up and are intended to be tied successfully by any more or less passable fly tyer. They are also intended to form the beginnings of a larger family of patterns by easily allowing variation and evolution of the basic patterns using the same range of techniques and materials. The author follows in the tradition of Vincent Marinaro and Goddard and Clarke, but is chiefly concerned with learning from more purely academic research usually skipped over by fly fishermen. Chapters include: In the eye of the beholder - trout vision; Visions near and far; Triggers and flies; Patterns of development; The basic principles of the footprint fly system (Ephemeroptera); The basic principles of the footprint fly system (Trichoptera and Diptera); Patterns for various species; Back to the beginnging. .

"Flycasting, although perhaps an art form, is not a natural talent and the physical motions of casting are much better performed by those who fully understand why such motions are necessary. Lou Stevens has spent many years teaching the skills of flycasting and this book is based on that experience - much of it the result of 'question and answer' periods with his pupils. He explains the basic casts, the reasons behind them and give easy-to-follow instructions on improving your cast." Contents include: How can we improve?; The principle involved; The tackle we use; Fundamentals; Basic casting; More distance?; Curves, mends, direction; The roll cast; Variations; Rolls, mends & retrieves; Taking aim; Misconceptions; Style.
