This is Written in such a way as to not only instruct but also to enthuse the young beginner. "Such a reader can turn these pages and know that the advice being given is that of a master-angler - someone to whom fishing isn't merely a week-end hobby, but a way of life. The advice is absolutely practical, and nothing is left out that the young fisherman needs to know about equipment and techniques, about the best places to fish, about the tactics to use in various circumstances, and so on. .As Anthony Pearson points out again and again, fishing is a means of enlarging your enjoyment of life. So his chapters are full of the sensations that fishing brings with it: of particular times of the day or night, in particular places - on rivers, at sea, in all weathers." Chapters include: Introduction; The beginnings; Coarse fishing; All the other coarse fish; Trout and se-trout; Salmon; The sea and the fish; The books and the writers. In this excellent final chapter on angling books and their writers, Pearson asserts "Many books have been written on fishing, very few of them worthwhile." before going on to list and describe some of the finest works in angling literature. .
