SALMON FLYFISHING THE DYNAMICS APPROACH F. T. GRANT SWAN HILL PRESS 1993 1st edition. 25 x 19 cm. [vii] + 152 pp + colour photo plates. HB/DJ How do we tempt a salmon, which does not feed in fresh water, to take a confection of feathers and hair tied around a hook? What causes it to take, or to refuse? How does the weather affect the salmon's behaviour? Should the salmon-fisher's fly be large or small, fished deep in the water or near the surface, moving fast or slow? How important are our choices of salmon fly patterns? Francis Grant tackles these and other fundamental questions which every flyfisher for salmon continually asks himself. In this radical and sometimes controversial book, he outlines his special philosophy and integrated practical approach to the catching of salmon on a fly. He bases this practical manual on his consistent personal success in catching salmon on fly, in British and Scandinavian rivers, and also draws important lessons from his training as a marine biologist. Preparation and persistence — with correct tackle and clothing, a positive mental attitude, and an awareness of how salmon behave — are put into practice with an understanding of the salmon's underwater world of flowing water. Above all it is dynamics — the presentation and movement of the fly in relation to the fish, water speed, temperatures and depth — that is the keystone of Francis Grant's important new approach to successful flyfishing for salmon.
