A PASSION FOR ANGLING BOOK - CHRIS YATES, BOB JAMES, HUGH MILES (HARDBACK)

Excellent fishing book with the fishing adventures of the three fanatical anglers. Chris Yates, Bob James and Hugh Miles. The thrill of a twitching quill float, the steady pull of a taking carp, the unstoppable rush of a highland salmon - these were the moments, the boyhood memories, which the team wanted to re-capture and with high hopes they set oof. First up is Redmire Pool where they soon capture some monster carp. Next up is Scotland's Spey for salmon and trout. Then on to the Kennet  where on one memorable winters day Bob lands a near 3lb roach and soon after a couple of spectacular pike. Chris Yates takes us after the hard fighting barbel on the Avon, and there are several encounters with large chub, tench, rudd, grayling and numerous others. The riverside conversations between Bob and Chris and the contrasting angling methods they employ, reveal a vast amount about fish, fishing and what fires people with a passion for angling. Day break on an English chalk stream, nightfall by a mist shrouded carp pond. These are the vivid backdrops to fish hunted, fish lost and fish landed. The classic ingredients of an angling adventure. Great read. Recommended.
