A substantial and authoritative study of North American trout, bringing together the knowledge of fisheries biologists, researchers and conservationists in a beautifully illustrated reference volume.
Unlike traditional angling literature, Trout approaches its subject from the perspective of natural history and fisheries science. The book explores the origins, anatomy, physiology and behaviour of trout, together with the environmental conditions that govern their survival and distribution.
Particularly valuable is its extensive treatment of the thirteen trout and char forms covered in the volume, including their distinguishing characteristics, habitats and life histories. Detailed descriptions, illustrations, charts and measurements provide a useful reference for the naturalist as well as the dedicated angler.
The book also considers feeding behaviour, reproduction, migration, habitat conservation and the challenges facing wild trout populations. Colour photographs, maps and tables complement the text, while an extensive bibliography provides a foundation for further study.
Published by Stackpole Books in 1991, this is a first-edition reference work of considerable interest to anyone wishing to understand the fish beyond the act of catching it.
This copy is in excellent condition.
An unusually comprehensive volume, equally at home in the library of a naturalist, fisheries biologist or thoughtful fly fisher.
Explore further works on trout behaviour, aquatic entomology and the natural history of fly fishing in our collection of classic angling literature , including studies by Vincent C. Marinaro, Brian Clarke and John Goddard.
