Book by Moss Dennis

One of the most enjoyable and informative books to arrive on our shelves this Christmas... What intrigued me most about the book was his ability to chronicle and set the scene before, during and after each angling trip (and there are many trips) in this 286-page publication. Moss is a fine writer. He is also a brilliant angler...This book is a must for all anglers, experienced or otherwise. It's a gem to treasure. --Irish Times
..I read it in three sittings... It is not difficult to imagine that even though he often fishes with a boat partner, regardless of the physical presence, he fishes alone, such is the intensity of thought and application to the job in hand, that of seeking out - preferably - big trout. Don't let stories of big trout put you off, each has it's place and fits into the narrative extremely well... A truly excellent read. --Flydresser
As if the text were not enough, the book itself is beautifully produced by Quiller Publishing and generously illustrated with excellent, evocative colour photographs. Care has been taken in the placing of these pictures and they invariably have some relevance to the adjacent pages... Irish Rise (spot the pun?), for various reasons, has a special appeal for me and is the most enjoyable book of its type I've come across for many a year. Anyone, however, who loves books and who has an interest in game-fishing will want to have a copy on the shelf. --Trout & Salmon
The essence of this book is about wild fishing with a fly rod, beginning with early days on a humble tributary of the River Thames learning the art of fly fishing, and concluding on the majestic wide open spaces of the limestone loughs of the west of Ireland. As well as reminiscences, there are topical thoughts and observations about conservation of wild stock, the effects of angler pressure, and favourite flies. The underlying theme that hopefully comes through is a love of fly fishing in wild places; in particular hunting big brown trout with a dry fly on the rich clearwater loughs of Ireland.
