A really good book in the best sense
This is a great read.It will be relished by fishermen and will also appeal to those who want to learn as the technical aspects are of a very high standard as you would expect from a recognised authority. It documents the true life story of a man and his passion for a river. Starting from a time when life was simpler, even if in the shadow of war, to modern day.

I think this will be enjoyed by young and old fishermen or not, either to bring back memories of a past age or conjuring up images of how life used to be for those who display curiosity for what they might have missed.
A must for all those interested in the ways of the country and wanting to learn more about what makes a real craftsman and keeps his passion for a very special part of our environment.
A jolly good read.

Feedback from a non fisherman
As a non fisherman but I confess familiar with the location, I found this book fascinating. I gained by reading it a technical appreciation of the river it's life cycle and an understanding of what I could observe by just sitting and watching. At the same time I followed the story of a man who simply made his dream into reality. The practical and passionate way he addresses river conservation and the politics,is refreshing. A book I have reread twice and recommend
