This book is dedicated to the spiky little freshwater ruffian known
better as the ruffe, pope, 'tommy ruffe' and other local names.
A fascinating little fish, the ruffe is long overdue a book all of its
own. Much loved by many anglers, ruffe can also be problematic when
introduced beyond their native range.
Scientist, author and broadcaster Dr Mark Everard details fascinating
aspects of the biology, angling and wider contributions to society of
the ruffe.
