Journey with him along rivers and streams, then around the odd lake - places typical of so many waters where brown trout are found. These stories tell how trout live and how to catch them. Yet there is no instruction. Information and discovery is hidden in the narratives. There is fishing at dawn, fishing at the river's edge, fishing in the headwaters, and even, as a short break from New Zealand, a little fishing in Scottish lochs.

A collection of stories for all who fish and many who don't, Cast Lightly offers an inviting escape, whether the reader is marooned in the central business district or is reading in bed after a day on the river.
