Shadows on the Stream Bed
By Tom Sutcliffe
Shadows on the Stream Bed by Tom Sutcliffe is a celebration
of fly fishing by South Africa's most celebrated flyfisherman.
Yet you don't have to be a flyfisher to enjoy the people and
places he describes so lovingly.
Tom's writing is sometimes deep, sometimes hurries along,
is often lyrical and beautiful, always sparkling - a lot like
the crystal streams of the high mountains of South Africa where
the brown and rainbow trout thrive.
He has more than anyone in the history of South African flyfishing
walked and waded every metre of these streams, kilometre after
kilometre. Fishing each pool, run and riffle on those both well-known
and unnamed - from the finest blue ribbons to those that have
hardly the width or length of a piece of packing string. This
book continues his journey.

Tom Sutcliffe has written five previous books on fly fishing
and fly tying including the best selling Hunting Trout
and The Elements of Fly Tying. He has fly fished in every
corner of South Africa and many places around the world.
