In 28 stories the author recounts the varied history of his fishing, from the time when he beheld the first carp to the moments when the monster rolled into his landing net. In between come tales of magical lakes set in remote and forgotten landscapes, epic battles with unseen giants, mad expeditions in search of the ultimate carp water, haunted pools, old pubs, warm-hearted countrymen and the benign spirit of Izaak Walton.

Very probably my favourite book of all time!
If you enjoy your fishing in an adventurous, traditional style you will love this book! From childhood beginnings to catching the biggest carp in England with plenty of happenings along the way, this fabulous book has it all, Chris Yates never fails to paint the picture in his poetic and sometimes other worldly style, taking the reader with him into a reality full of fish, wildlife and fun, a must for any outdoors person!

Casting at the sun
Best book Yates has written, if you like carp fishing you'll like this. Maybe not relevant to structural fishing i.e. how to get your best zig rig presentation using a fish meal nut job but a good read of how to start out and work your way into large carp in a more gentler time than today's race for huge carp.
