BB writes for all those anglers who relish the solitude of summer days spent at the water's edge. He conjures up the scene of sunlit watermeads and midge-haunted pools, the bronze beauty of the fish and the excitement of the waiting for battle, in words which stir the heart of all those who love fishing. This book says something of how big fish can be caught and of the places where he has angled for them; he describes what manner of birds, beasts and wild things he has met with in his solitary vigils and we share his thoughts on such tranquil occasions. This is a completely new title made up of rare lost newspaper and magazine articles about BB's carp fishing.
The book starts with articles from the very early fifties before Walker had caught his record from Redmire.

 

The forward has been written by BB,s old friend,  Bill Humphreys.
