Angling is a common
interest shared by many people, but take a randomly
selected group, such as might gather in a tackle shop on
a Saturday morning, and it will be found that many
anglers actually have little in common. Even within the
sport, tastes and preferences vary widely. However, few
anglers will fail to find something of interest in the
evocative collection of memorable angling days contained
within these pages.
David Tipping was never one to confine his fishing to a
single species or a handful of venues, nor to be
deterred by such minor complications as snow, gale force
winds or banks thick with nettles and brambles. And
while his preference was always for targeting bigger
than average fish, he never lost sight of the fact that
a lesser specimen, caught in challenging circumstances,
could be equally rewarding.
These snapshots from an angler's life are
correspondingly varied. The author takes us to derelict,
reed and lily-smothered canals, bleak, wind-swept clay
pits, tumbling north-country rivers and vast,
fathomless. glacial lakes as he seeks to add to his
tally of specimens and rare species. There is something
here to excite and inspire anglers of all tastes. |

I could tell you even
before I read it, Angling Days was never going to be a
'how to do it' book. As is David's way, it will
entertain you. It is more than likely that this book
will prove educational to you, be it in terms of Dave's
undoubted angling knowledge or his enthusiasm for
nature.
One thing I can guarantee though, is that if you are
anything like me, it will inspire you. David has an
uncanny knack of rousing enthusiasm for subjects of
which the reader was previously unaware or
disinterested. . .
