The salmon remains a dream catch for many flyfishermen, and for years its life was something of a mystery as little was known about its migrations and spawning behaviour. The author has collected and collated a mass of reports and information to create this two-part reference work. Part One covers the biology and life-cycle of the salmon from egg to fully mature adult, with first-hand and current data on its movements, behaviour and habits. By increasing his knowledge of the salmon, the angler should increase his chances of catching this elusive fish. Charts, diagrams, photographs and tables all support the information presented as background details to this popular fish.
