Trout Biology (Revised and Augmented Edition)

Dust jacket notes: "Trout Biology may be the most important book for a trout fisherman's library: for no other book offers such a comprehensive biological portrait of the fisherman's quarry. This is the definitive natural history of trout and salmon, thoughtfully updated and revised and completely reset. Trout Biology presents the life history, characteristics, behavior patterns, and place in the ecosystem of the salmonids. The chapters on behavior are of course of special interest to anglers, with their authoritative treatment of social and territorial behavior, feeding habits, food-color choice, reactions to cover and light, learning and memory, sounds and sound perception, and methods of movement. As Tom Rosenbauer, author of Reading Trout Streams, says: 'Trout Biology is the best book available for anglers who wish to learn all about a trout's life cycle.'"
