 472pp. Matt-laminated pictorial Snocover-board cover. Chapters 20, pen and ink sketches 50.

Includes an original signed and dated pencil sketch of a brown trout rising to a mayfly on the title page. Also includes five of the author/artist's original pencil artworks that were used in the reproduction of this book, viz;

1) 'Fishing alone' illustrated on page 399.

2) 'In the shadow of a rock' illustrated on page 428.

3) 'The Bokspruit River' illustrated on page 310

4) 'Streamside lunches' illustrated on page 341

5) 'Hatching Mayflies' illustrated on page 421

More Sweet Days is a sequel to Hunting Trout and Shadows on the Stream Bed, 471 pages of fly fishing and 50 pen and ink sketches that have been extremely well reproduced. The book is taken from almost a lifetime's experiences of fly fishing and the aim of it, as with all my books on fly fishing, is to share my joy of the sport through anecdotes that at the same time try to impart angling lessons.

Subjects range from stillwater fly fishing, fishing in Iceland, fishing the chalkstreams of Hampshire, the rivers and streams I love best in South Africa, observations on fishing alone, notes on trout flies, back-country bridges, and the diary of three visits to the Eastern Cape Highlands around Rhodes and Barkly East.'
