'Trout, Salmon and the Evening Rise, The Barometric Breakthrough'

A fascinating new book by Andrew Bett which brings together crucial research by entomologists and fish physiologists linking changes in barometric pressure to insect hatches and the coinciding trout and salmon taking times. The Study shows that insects hatch on a rising barometer, stimulating the feeding activity in trout and the Conditioned Reflex taking behaviour in sea trout and salmon. The work is fully endorsed by all the scientists who contributed to the book. Also, Andrew is always available to give advice and recommendations on which rod and rod design to choose for your specific needs, if advice is needed.

"In this day and age it is very rare that a scientific breakthrough is achieved by a layman - well done Andrew."

Dr Richard Shelton,

Research Director of The Atlantic Salmon Trust, in his speech at the book launch.

"First the book, beautifully produced, superb colour photographs, a wonderful enthusiasm and excitement from the author and a really challenging and enquiring mind is self-evident. I was fascinated."

Lord David Nickson,

Chairman of The Associated Salmon Fishery Board.

"It’s not quite a fisherman's Theory of Everything, but it comes breathtakingly close.Time and again, the charts show time-and-pressure correlations of how all the patient fishing in the world can come to nothing while the barometer's falling, prove difficult but not impossible
while it's stationary, and then hit purple patches of mythic intensity when the pressure tips consistently upwards."

"Andrew, this theory is fast becoming fact.  I'm just back from a morning's fishing on the North Tyne and checked my Casio watch as I started into the pool and it read 1020 mb. Halfway down the pool I hooked into a good fish, which turned out to be 11 lb, and on landing it I checked the watch again - 1021 mb - it's amazing! "
