A Summer on the Test

A beautiful Medlar edition of this classic fly fishing book, first published in 1924. Hills fly fished in many countries but thought the Test was ‘the greatest trout river in the world’ - with its ‘crystal streams and its portly trout, with its lovely valley, its bridges, its trees, its chalk cliffs and its broad water meadows’. After reading this book, with its beautiful descriptions of the English countryside and advice from an experienced trout fisher, you are unlikely ever to look at a chalkstream trout in the same way again.
