Fishing the Margins - A History and Complete Bibliography of Fly Fishing in South Africa
Paul Curtis
Paperback, 176 pages
243 x 169 x 11mm (L x W x H)

'The book is a well-researched and hugely entertaining chronological record of the 82 books written on the subject since 1908.’ Fishing the Margins is written with infectious enthusiasm and is filled with fascinating snippets of history that make it as entertaining as it is informative.'
'South Africa’s fly fishing literature is surprisingly rich and diverse and it’s something a lot of us feel more than a little proud about. It’s also a genre that has produced a host of quality works over almost 100 years, books easily able to hold their own against the best in the world. Think of Dean Riphagen’s The South African Fly-fishing Handbook or Sydney Hey’s minor masterpiece The Rapture of the River to quote just two examples. Up until now though, the great library of South African fly fishing books – and authors – has never been properly examined and recorded. In at last setting this right, Paul Curtis has done us flyfishers a big service. He has researched, analysed and chronicled our fly fishing literary heritage book by book, author by author, right from the very origins of the sport in South Africa. As such Fishing the Margins is not only an important historical record, it’s also a welcome milestone. It makes for a hugely enjoyable and informative read; a book, I think, that should be prescribed reading for everyone who shares a passion for fly fishing and a passion for this country.'
The Rapture of the River - The Autobiography of a South African Fisherman

When The Rapture of the River was first published in 1957, the first and only edition sold out within days and soon became South Africa’s most in-demand fly fishing book ever – attaining ‘classic’ status within a couple of years. Today the book is so sought-after that rare, remaining copies of Sidney Hey’s masterpiece [which up until now has never been reprinted] change hands at between R1 000-R2 000.
Now at last [and at a fraction of that cost] you can enjoy this remarkable autobiography of a South African fisherman recalling halcyon days spent fishing virgin trout waters in unspoilt surroundings we can only dream of today. There’s an added bonus of a foreword exclusive to this edition by Tom Sutcliffe, leading South African flyfisherman and author.
