1: Brown Trout Explained
A thorough trout fisherman wants an explanation of the hard hitting, mysterious Brown Trout--it's good to know your subject. A fish biologist or a wood carver wants to understand the beautiful and elusive SALMO TRUTTA.
THE COMPLEAT BROWN TROUT by Cecil E. Heacox, Illustrated by Wayne Trimm, is the book I was looking for after many mistakes in the carving and painting of my wooden fish.
I catch and release the trout, so I have little time to study a fish for fear of lessening its survival. This all changes with the author and illustrator's excellent coverage of the Brown. And, I mean the book is literally an inside-out depiction of the Brown. Included are initial stocking records, and how to fish for the trout from author Heacox, to the beautifully detailed plates by artist Trimm.
I only learned of THE COMPLEAT BROWN TROUT, published in 1974, by happenstance. My neighbor has about everything written about trout or bamboo rods. He is generous in lending me things that advance my knowledge. I read the neighbor's copy and immediately searched for my own copy. Books on trout and trout fishing are niche market. Anyone interested should find this first edition book before it becomes a truly expensive collectible.

2: From the Dust Jacket:
"This is the first comprehensive, in-depth study of the brown trout, Salmo trutta: its origin, distribution, anatomy, life history, diet, the methods used to manage and propagate it; and the tactics and tackle that have been developed to fish for it. This book was written for the dedicated angler who realizes that the more he knows about a fish the more he will enjoy angling for it."
