Reviews

[Paul]

This is a great read for anyone who enjoys getting out on the water. The author really captures the reason we fish and breaks it all down to the simplicity of it all.

[Chris Warren]

Lovely book – as you'd expect from R H-B. Straightforward and to the point and shows that little has fundamentally changed in 70 years.

[Rich Medrano]

Interesting exploration of the fishing life from a master.
