Summary: Excellent but not what you expect.
Review: Definitely a must read for anyone interested in or serious about catching Ferox trout.If you're interested in catching trout in general, you should read this one last - its not about fly fishing its solely about Ferox trout, its environment and its conservation. Ron's style, which he freely admits in the introduction, can be viewed as opinionated and abrasive by some. If you don't let this detract from the content of the book, Ron's enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject shine through brilliantly.

Summary: excellent & informative work
Review: Ron Greer has brought together years of experience both as a scientist and an angler, and this experience is vast in both spheres. His easy style and honest opinion help to dispel some of the mythology about this sub-species and its prey, as well as building its reputation as a sporting catch although very difficult to catch. Tips on how and where to go are included, along with anecdotes and pictures showing that our author really knows what he's writing about. Thanks Ron for a bookthat can sit proudly with the likes of St. John's and Colquhoun's classic works.

Summary: Waste of paper
Review: The book can be divided up into bait size to fish, trout, char, trawling and conservation. The writer spends too much time trying to explain with complicated graphs the size of bait to use to catch a size of trout. I can't see a trout using a vernier to size up it's meals. THe book does show how to catch trout "Trawl for them like pike" The writer then goes off into planting trees and country side conservation. I felt the writer came accross as having "a better than thou" attitude. I have friends that read the book and came to the same conclusion. Rig up a dead bait as you would for pike. Trawl it behind a boat and save yourself the money. There are other and better books out there!
