A fishing enthusiast from the tender age of seven, Henry Gilbey’s love of the sport has taken him all over the world. But the chance to experience sea, coarse and game fishing at its most thrilling could not be missed. From the serene trout streams of Scotland, Henry ventures further afield for the ultimate fishing challenge.

Adventure Fishing allows the reader to join Henry on the adventure of a lifetime as he reels in a gigantic catfish in Spain, tackles an elusive Swedish pike and has one-toone combat with a ‘bronzy’ on Namibia’s ‘Skeleton Coast’.

Divided into separate chapters on fresh water fishing, shore fishing and fishing on the open sea, Adventure Fishing provides practical, often innovative but sensible advice on fishing techniques that will be of inspiration to all level of angler. The text is supported with illustrations of the equipment used on each catch, invaluable information on the environmental conditions in each area and beautiful, dramatic photographs taken by the author.

Henry Gilbey has presented his own television series, Fishing with Henry, and is also presenter of the popular fishing series Fishing on the Edge. Gilbey writes and photographs regularly for publications including Sea Angler, Trout and Salmon and Angling Times, and is also a respected consultant in the fishing tackle industry.

John Bailey says, “Fishing with Henry is hugely entertaining and endlessly fascinating. He pushes you into different realms, opens you up to different experiences.”

FISHINGmagic VERDICT

A quality book, of that there is no doubt, and at £ 15.99 it’s a decent price. The photography alone makes the book well worth it for those who want a flavour of fishing around the world, from pike fishing on the river Kennet and in Sweden to shark fishing in the surf of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast.

It’s a book for the coffee table and one that is sure to be thumbed through a few times long after you’ve read it from cover to cover.
