Reflections on Flyfishing: Further Thoughts of a South African FlyFisherman by Tom Sutcliffe
Said Tom: “Like the best sellerย My Way with a Trout (1984), Reflections on Flyfishing is an assembly of articles I wrote for the Natal Mercury at the time. As a sequel to My Way with a Troutย it was not as much of a success, which has always surprised me because I have enjoyed rereading this book immensely, certainly as much if not more thanย My Way With a Trout.
“It covers an equally wide range of topics in fly fishing written at time when the sport was well into its renaissance where there was increasing emphasis in stillwater dry fly fishing and the use of smaller flies. It also brings in some different fly fishing venues in chapters on the Okavango Swamps that at the time were mildly pioneering and instructional for people thinking of taking a fly fishing safari into those wonderful waterways. And there’s an interesting chapter on fishing Switzerland’s Alpine streams and the famous River Tรถss near Zurich and around Lorach and Mombach in the Black Forest in Germany in the delightful Wiesse River.
