Ed Herbst's The Delicate Fly Fisher is an incredible book that brings together over 50 years of fly-fishing experience to deeply analyse trout behaviour and how to catch them effectively.
The fly-tying sections are truly outstanding with a wealth of information for all fly tyers that will improve one's understanding and techniques.
Much of Ed's research into the staple foods of small stream trout such as blackfly larvae and the black cocktail ant has not been previously covered in such depth and offer a remarkable insight into our local Cape Streams.
Fantastically illustrated and printed on glossy paper its 385 pages in A4 format constitute the most definitive book on small stream fly angling available.
These copies have been personaaly signed by Ed Herbst - a true collector's joy to own.
