Fly Fishing for Salmon

Taking up salmon fly fishing is surprisingly difficult if you have not got lots of help and encouragement even if you fish for other species. There are many barriers......wilderness locations, cost, jargon and all the technical problems involving tackle and technique.The purpose of this book is to break all those barriers down. It will explain clearly what the absolute beginner needs to know. It will help solve the technical problems and common faults faced by 'improvers' and those advancing from trout fly fishing and other disciplines. Many experienced anglers are confused by some modern techniques and this guidance will get them right up to date.

Allan Sefton has successfully chased many species of fish from the Falkland Islands via equatorial Pacific Islands to the Arctic Circle. But, his favourite fish are Atlantic salmon and his favoured destination is Scotland. Retirement from his first career meant a chance, between other assignments, to qualify as a Level Two Game Angling Coach. He gets great pleasure from introducing others to the joys of fly fishing and has worked with others to coach and encourage the Angling Trust's Team England Youth Fly Fishing. He also became a regular contributor to Trout and Salmon, the UK's premier game fishing magazine. Allan's first book 'Getting Started at Fly Fishing for Trout' was published in 2013 because so many of his clients asked for a book that made sense to absolute beginners who had never held a fishing rod before.
