Publisher's Synopsis
John Aston's superb fishing autobiography ranges from the boyhood quest for perch in Yorkshire's West Riding, through salmon and carp fishing to his first love, wild trout on small streams in North Yorkshire. Witty and erudite, this is a modern fishing book, by a child of the sixties for whom fly-fishing is 'rock and roll fishing', and whose angling references are very likely to be Frank Zappa or Hemingway. It will charm anyone who appreciates fine writing about the countryside.
