A true classic of South African angling literature. After the introductory chapters the design of the book is in three parts:-
Part I deals with the well-known surface fishes - Elf, Leerfish, Yellow-tail, Kob, Geelbek, Snoek and the Katonkels.
Part II is given to the popular bottom-feeders - Red Steenbras, Red Stumpnose, White Stumpnose, Dassie, Galjoen, John Brown, Wildeperd, Roman, White Steenbras, and the two Biskops or Mussel-Crushers.
Part III is styled "A Conversation" - an interesting and informative discourse, in which a doctor is the principal speaker.
