Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Step into a bygone era of angling with this captivating memoir, chronicling one man's forty-six-year journey through the rivers and streams of England. The author, a dedicated 'coarse' fisherman, invites you to share his experiences and insights gained from countless hours spent pursuing roach, perch, chub, bream, and pike. His adventures unfold across sixteen counties and twenty-five rivers, painting a vivid picture of a time when fishing was a solitary pursuit, often undertaken in remote and wild locations. The narrative is interwoven with fascinating observations of the natural world, from encounters with herons and kingfishers to the unique habits of the creatures that inhabit the riverbanks. Through evocative descriptions of idyllic fishing spots and the challenges of landing prized catches, the author explores themes of patience, perseverance, and a deep connection with nature. His anecdotes and reflections offer a glimpse into a simpler time, when fishing was not just a sport but a way of life. This book is a testament to the enduring allure of angling and the profound lessons it teaches about the natural world and ourselves.
