Customer Reviews

A 'must have' for any salmon fisher.
Beautifully written prose interspersed with authoritative technical detail. Second only to his book on Sea Trout Fishing as the one book I would like to take with me to a desert island.

The Best Fishing Book Ever
Without doubt the most informative book on "Salmo the leaper" ever written. Falkus manages to transfix the reader into the mysterious world of salmon and delivers his experiences with this most wonderful creature in a manner that will interest anglers and non-anglers alike .

A good primer
So much rubbish is written about fishing it is good to find a writer that is clear, direct and uncomplicated. This is the first book to read if starting out on salmon fishing.
