Mark Walsingham is a dedicated fisherman and long-time angling companion of Chris Yates, who has contributed the foreword to this book.

Colour photographs and the odd b/w photograph throughout, folded watercolour sketch map of Wraysbury laid in. Fine new copy. The first edition of The Wraysbury Chronicles, published in 2011, very quickly sold out and has since become quite sought-after and hard to find. By popular demand the book has been reissued in a just slightly smaller-format paperback edition. Only 750 copies have been printed. "Following .the popularity of the Horton Chronicles, it was an obvious progression to go down Welley Road to the legendary Wraysbury One. As much a part of angling history as any other lake you could mention, this huge lake has tested the resilience and skills of many of England's best known anglers, but has also held jewels that any angler would crave. Fishing on Wraysbury has always been a test of endurance, and in this book you'll find evidence of those that have passed the test, and also those that have failed."
