The development of reservoir fly fishing in England has provided a small number of notable innovators who have changed the way that stillwater anglers fish forever, and within that select company must surely be included the name of Tom Ivens. It is impossible to over-emphasize the influence that he had on the development of reservoir fly angling which came as a result of the publication of his classic book, Still Water Fly-Fishing . The ideas he proposed at that time quickly became the benchmark for tackling reservoirs. He invented many new fly patterns, popularized double-haul casting, designed a range of fishing rods, introduced a series of shooting heads, perfected tapered nylon leaders, and also devised alternative methods of recovering his flies. Twenty six of his patterns are described in detail with the dressing menus, instructions on how best to fish them and there is a full colour photograph of each one. This present volume is intended to provide an insight into this influential angler and his considerable achievements. 67 illustrations, 2 diagrams, 4 maps & 2 tables. Published by Welford Court Press: ISBN 978-0-9520304-3-0
