Top Angler Top Person
If you like fishing you cannot fail to enjoy this book. The life story of not only one of the most talented anglers, if not the best, but the other side of the man. A hard working, generous, knowledgable, humorous and passionate about the English countryside and all that is in it. A book that is an easy read, highly enjoyable and well illustrated mapping his life and adventures across the world with his fishing rod.Covering his life from a teenager who went poaching in his local park to the adventurer fishing in the West Indies. Stories of how his fishing bait escaped in to the hairdressers next door, working on a cruise ship, scuba diving with a difference, constructing his own piece of heaven in his lakes and introducing the reader to many of his friends and family via the numerous stories that forged his life.If you are a parent looking for a role model, then look no further. I can strongly recommend John Wilson's book.
