From the Publisher:
'I had only one defining principle in writing this book,' says John Aston in his Foreword, 'to describe how it felt.' In that aim he succeeds brilliantly.
A book that brings to life over forty years of angling, it begins with boyhood expeditions to a pond in the shadow of the West Yorkshire slag heaps, and proceeds, via specimen-hunting trips to the bleak fenland dykes and forays to the lonely lochs of north-west Scotland, to
the delicate business of conjuring trout out of the streams around the author's home in North Yorkshire.
No fishing snob, Aston writes with as much passion about the barbel, carp, perch and pike which he caught in the past as he does about the trout and grayling which now preoccupy him.
John Aston is a local authority lawyer who lives and fishes in North Yorkshire. He contributes to Trout and Salmon, Britain's premier gamefishing magazine, and this is his first book.
