I was an angler who had no mentors to guide me as a young boy. So I spent a long time catching very very little. It was only when I was given a book for Christmas, called "The Young Anglers Handbook" by "Brian Morland". This book was a revalation to me - it had seperate sections for all the different species and wonderful pictures. I read it dozens and dozens of times and it became my bible in the early eighties. I still have my battered copy at home and I can remember every word and every page.
So I have two questions:
Did any one else grow up with this book and find it as useful as I did?
Was there one book in particular which influenced you more than any other?
And if you say Mr Crabtree then I know you are an old git........
