"a fish for all seasons"

dannytaylor · Aug 10, 2011

by martin bowler. Has anybody read it? Is it worth getting?

Thinking of buying a few angling books this week. Any more recommendations? looking at "all round" coarse angling books, with an emphasis on inspirational tales rather than technical/instructional stuff.

Thanks in advance :w

Jon Berry's book Beneath the Black Water is a great read, not about alround coarse fishing, but an anglers single species obsession in hunting down ferox trout.

For alround fishing Chris Turnbull has a new book out called Reflections

I have got and read A fish for all Seasons, it's a lovely big book and a good read.

It's what I think you would call a " Coffee Table " book, it's a wide book, with beautiful pictures.

Lots of good books out there at the moment covering most Species.

No, haven't read it Danny, I would also be interested in hearing any comments from those who have.
Martin seems to have picked up a few filming tips from Hugh though.

I'm still waiting for my copy of Graham's book, so I can't comment from personal experience. It has had excellent reviews though.

Cheers for the ideas lads.

Ordered the following, "beneath the black water" like the look of this and its been recommended by a few anglers.

Others are "Angling days" by Dave Tipping. "falling in again" by Chris Yates and "In visible waters" by Bailey they should keep me busy for a bit.

Danny,

Be careful, collecting Books can addictive, in the end you don't know what to do with them all ?

Addictive? Just buy more book shelves!

I'll recommend my own book - Big Roach - which has been very well-received.

Just finishing Beneath the Black Water, a cracking story.

Mark,

With over 400 books, there's a limit to how many Book Shelves you can put up ?

Good book by the way !!

Just to throw another into the mix Dave Tipping and Tim Ridge have a new book from Little Egret Press called Still-Water Angling which judging from the quality of Daves previous books and the good sense Tim posts on a number of club forums should be worth getting.
