Such a good book.Kevin wrote:George Orwell, Coming Up For Air.
The chief protagonist, George Bowling, is a fat, middle-aged bloke who is trapped in a life he loathes with a nagging wife from whom he cannot escape. He longs for the joys of his country childhood when he enjoyed simple pleasures like walking through beautiful English fields and woods and indulged in the thing that gave him more pleasure than any other: fishing. All the while he is worried that everything he holds sacred is about to be destroyed forever by yet another pointless war not long since he has survived active service in World War I.

Another Nevil Shute novel "The Far Country" has a bit of fly-fishing in it too.

Does anybody have any suggestions of novels that have fishing in them. (Beyond the Old man and the Sea.!) There are several US mystery series but to be frank most are not up to much.
The good angler is not the one with expensive equipment. Common sense, observation and trying to realize
what is happening above and below water will catch fish no matter what price equipment you fish with.
