ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 2011). (1997) 2011 2nd edition. 8vo paperback (140 x 209mm). Ppxii,259. B/w photographs, b/w illustrations by Dave Hall. Edges slightly soiled else a new unread copy. A more accurate title for this book would be 'White Water Rafting for Flyfishermen.' By 'rafts', the author means rubber dinghies. 'Pontoon boats' are catamaran rubber dinghies. 'Drift boats' are those cartoon-like plywood dinghies with a huge sheer, with the oarsman sitting backwards. This book's photographs of boiling rapids show why the oarsman has to sit looking in the direction of travel. Fishing calm stretches only accessible via rapids is described, whilst the author also points out that the roughest parts of rivers are often productive, and often the least frequented by other anglers. He then goes on to discuss in some depth specialised types of boat for shooting long, dangerous, boulder- and log-studded rapids whilst actively fishing the water. Suitable flyfishing techniques and strategies are also presented. There is much useful information on white water rafting skills and background knowledge which will be required, tips on how to avoid capsize or being smashed on rocks, and what to do if this actually happens. Chapters include: Basic rowing skills; The crawl stroke; Avoiding river hazards; Rowing strategies for anglers; Fly-fishing strategies; Choosing and outfitting the right boat; Planning your trip; Trailering, ramp use, and river etiquette.
