  Fly fishing is a long-established Pawson family tradition. Father Tony and son John both started at the age of four, and now have almost 100 years of experience between them. Both remain involved in competitive fly fishing, and both have been world chapions. Yet each has a different approach to the sport. Tony is forever active, eager and happy-go-lucky, a merry spirit; John, on the other hand, is patient, methodical and technically expert. These contrasting yet complementary styles provide a guide to the beautiful and exotic places in which they have fished - Alaska, New Zealand, Spain and Tasmania; to the wide range of techniques and tactics that have brought them success wherever they have gone; and to the incidents and anecdotes that have added such a refreshing sense of pleasure to their fishing. The Pawsons have searched around the world for salmon, trout and grayling. This book is a digest of the combination of elements that makes fishing, for them, both a fascination and a hereditary passion.
