Is the book available in other formats (eg. hardcopy)?

Unfortunately, I haven't got a hardcopy of my book available. To keep the book’s cost down to a minimum, so a greater number of anglers can enjoy it, I have offered it in electronic (Adobe PDF) format only, purchasable from the www.troutfishingsecrets.com website. I found that it would significantly raise the price of the book if I offered it in hardcopy, due to printing and global shipping costs, which meant it started to be out of reach for a typical angler (which is something I don't want at all).

I guess the good thing about the electronic format is that it is very transportable, either on PCs or PDAs, and can be easily printed if needed. A lot of my customers take the PDF book down to a print shop, and get it bound & printed for a couple of dollars.

How do I purchase & download the book?

You can order the book directly from the www.troutfishingsecrets.com website. You will notice a button, titled "Click Here To Order", at the bottom of the main page. If you click this button you are taken to the "Clickbank" site, which handles my financial transactions. "Clickbank" is a secure financial institution that accepts either Credit Cards or US Checks.

Once the transaction is approved you can download the book to your computer and start reading it straight away.

So what is your secret?

My secret is really quite simple - know your pray, know their environment, know your equipment and know different techniques. In a nutshell, that is it. For more details check out my book at www.troutfishingsecrets.com. You can purchase it online, download it and start reading it straight away.

I am not sure about sending Credit Card details...So how secure is the order page and can the book be paid for by another means?

I know some of my customers have an issue in disclosing their credit card details over the internet, so I have set up a check payment system with "Clickbank", who I use as my financial institution. When you press the "order now" button on my website, "Clickbank" will give you the option to pay either by credit card or US check. If you choose to pay by US check all you need to do is enter a check number and you will be able to immediately download my book.

I did quite a bit of research into financial institutions before posting my website on the internet (as I was concerned with security over the internet myself), and have found that "Clickbank" is one of the most trusted and secure financial sites available on the internet today. All information sent to "Clickbank" is encrypted (using strong 128-bit encryption) and is not disclosed to anyone, including myself.

What is the book about (more information)?

The book was written for a global audience, therefore covers trout fishing anywhere in the world. Its specific focus is "spinner fishing" in rivers and streams using a regular rod and reel. I discuss topics such as:
* Trout species and identification
* Trout behavior
* A trout's environment (river features & locating trout)
* Angler clothing for river spinner fishing
* Spinner fishing equipment (know your rod, reel, line, spinner, ...)
* The art of using a spinner to fish trout and how to cast a spinner
* And a small section of fishing etiquette.

Even though my book is geared towards "spinner fishing", I have had a lot of great feedback from anglers using other fishing disciplines, such as fly-fishing, other artificial lure fishing and bait fishing, saying that the book has helped them with all fishing disciplines.

Is the book applicable to lake fishing trout?

My book is written specifically for spinner fishing for trout in rivers, but I believe it should help with fly fishing and lake fishing. I have had some great feedback about my book from anglers using all kinds of fishing techniques. Even though my book doesn't go into the specifics of lake fishing (eg. water layers in lakes), applying the basic rules of trout location and behavior mentioned in my book, should help you out.

What Credit Cards are accepted by TroutFishingSecrets / ClickBank?

Clickbank, who I use as my financial institution, accepts the following Credit Cards: Amex, Bravo, Carte Blanche, Diners Club, Discover, EuroCard, JCB, MasterCard, MasterDebit, Novus, Visa and VisaDebit.

Is the book purchasable from Stores?

Currently my book is only available from my website in electronic (PDF) format.
