When ‘The Rapture of the River’ was originally published in 1957, the first and only edition sold out within days and soon became South Africa’s most in-demand fly fishing book ever – attaining classic status within a couple of years. Today the book is so sought after that rare, surviving copies of Sydney Hey’s great masterpiece change hands between R1000 – R2000. Now at last, and at a fraction of the cost, you can revel in this remarkable autobiography of a fly fisherman and his fascinating recollections of halcyon days gone by. And you can fish virgin trout waters with him in the kind of unspoilt surroundings we can only dream about today. -

Yet More Sweet Days by Tom Sutcliffe The sequel to Tom Sutcliffe's Hunting Trout and Shadows on the Stream Bed, Yet More Sweet Days boasts 471 pages of Tom's fly fishing stories plus 50 pen and ink sketches.
