The Lightning Thread

This may well have been referenced already by others so apologies if I’ve not seen previous posts.
Thought I’d share that I’m currently reading the above by David Profumo.
I’ve enjoyed many different books over the years from many different authors, covering many styles of fishing.
Whilst David Profumo undoubtedly has a way with words and has made me smile at times, I’ll be honest and say I’m finding it difficult to relate to a lifestyle and it’s related fishing exploits, that are borne out of a very different upbringing to mine. Fishing of course is a great leveler irrespective of background, personality and lifestyle, just found this one more difficult to fully ‘enjoy’.
Wondered what other thoughts were out there on this one or is it just me?

There once was a member of this Forum - who gave up both his membership here and on a salmon syndicate water 'because of the coarse anglers'.

So expect differences some anglers do have or are alleged to have! We share - or most do - a sport.

He can write, but there is a touch of Downton Abbey about it. I have only managed a couple of chapters, but I will go back to it.

Good words Deaf Cat. ‘Downtown Abbey’ sums up the general flavour.
I would absolutely acknowledge the author’s undoubted capability and I too will eventually finish the book.
