The first fishing book I ever owned. My mum bought it for me when I was a nipper, and yes I still have it. I was actually taking about a caption to one of the photos this very morning! "Plump and silky, a memorable June caught tench" that's always stuck in my head, haha

Lovely little book I do love the observers books. When I was a kid the birds one and birds eggs were my bibles and very very worn.

Smashing little book that so many of us owned. I wish I still had my copy.Note to self - look out for another copy!

I had the pleasure of meeting Peter Wheat at his home and having some books signed. That particular cover is the later edition, the first editions have a picture of an angler holding a Perch. Nice books. He also did the one ons on sea fishing and game fishing.

What a smashing book, I had a copy as a lad, it was the first fishing book I owned, bought for me by my lovely grandmother, and inscribed by her, for a birthday or Christmas I can't remember. It was in the pocket of my old fishing seat that got nicked from a mate's house some years ago, together with all my childhood gear! It's out there somewhere. So, if anyone has a copy if this book, with and inscription inside "to Jonathan from Nana Savory", let me know and maybe we can swap! Wow what a turn up that would be!
