523pp. Pictorial softcover. Illustrated throughout with author's sketches.
The author, Dr. Tom Sutcliffe has included three hand-drawn sketches in this copy, one on the title page of a trout in suspension over a bed of pebbles, another of a DDD fly and a third sketch of a typical trout stream scene. The hand drawn title page sketch is inscribed 'sketch by Tom Sutcliffe 5 May 2022'. He has also signed under his name on the same page.
'People ask why I've bothered to publish a third edition of this book. The fact is I get regular inquiries from people looking to buy a copy and I have had none in stock for nearly two years. Second-hand copies, especially of the first edition, are now not only pricey but are also hard to come by. So I approached the publishers of Yet More Sweet Days, Burnet Media, and they were happy to take the project on.
But in these difficult post-Covid times it's a gamble, I know, and to offset the risk I have limited the print run to 500 copies, a number of which are already on backorder.
I have gone for a redesigned cover crafted quite brilliantly by Sean Robertson of Burnet Media from a photograph by Gerhard Laubscher of the Bokspruit River in the Eastern Cape Highlands. There's an added piece of text in which I described how I came to write Hunting Trout in the first place, how Ed Herbst influenced many chapters especially through his eccentricities in packing and travel, and there's a new foreword by Steve Boshoff. Nick Lyon's first foreword has been retained. Much of the artwork has been redone with many new pieces added, including a study of the old cottage on Heatherdon from which we would leave to fish the famous Old Dam.' Tom Sutcliffe
