Spotty Herberts - An Anthology of Trout Stories
Andrew Herd

'I do not know what it is about this fish that inspires anglers to pursue it to the exclusion of all else, but if any sport can claim to be a religion, trout fishing, and specifically fly fishing for trout, has the best claim. As evidence I put to you that during the great colonisations of the nineteenth century, one of the first things settlers did was to plant trout in the local rivers, before attending to lesser priorities, like imposing the rule of law and bringing over their families. Which is why this anthology boasts such a concentration of Antipodean and American writers - some of whom, like David Scholes and Douglas Stewart, will be new to the majority of readers.' - Andrew Herd (from the Introduction)
