'Fresh-water Fish and Fishing in Africa is designed to be a permanent pocket encyclopaedia on its subject. Six of the most expert writers on fishing in the inland waters of Africa have combined their talents in the writing of this book. C. J. Harrison, doyen of fishing writers in Africa, has written the section on the Cape. R. A. Jubb, a world authority on his subject, provides a comprehensive section on the two Rhodesias and Nyasaland. J. H. Yates covers the Transvaal, Orange Free State, and Natal, and his information is the result of a lifetime of experience. Ken Shortt-Smith has provided a fascinating section on the rivers of Basutoland. George Rushby, the man largely responsible for the introduction of trout to southern Tanganyika, writes with intimate knowledge on that fascinating part of Africa; while C. T. Flamwell deals with the remarkable fishing waters which flow from the snows of Mount Kenya and through the fabulous scenery of the East African land of great lakes and mighty rift valleys.
Beautifully illustrated with photographs, and with drawings by Mrs. Jubb, this is the most comprehensive work ever produced on fresh-water fish and fishing in Africa. It will be read with pleasure and profit by countless enthusiasts of a most amiable pastime.' - editor's note
