• an analysis of natural conditions that affect trout behaviour
-
• how to utilise conditions to advantage
-
• observation and reading of trout waters

Includes a guideline to what the trout may be feeding on, what those creatures look like and suggestions on what flies may be used in those instances.

There is also an aperitif section concerning other sought-after freshwater species that can be caught on fly including , tiger fish, yellowfish, tilapia, carp, catfish, black bass and a special invitee - the Nile perch.
