The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Last week I started reading one of my Arthur Sharp books 'The Lure Of The Float' for the umpteenth time, an old favourite of mine printed in 1931. I always have to chuckle to myself when I get to chapter 17 'Some Reminiscences' and read the Anglers Prayer. What a great book this is.

It seems a lovely book that Mark.

I have that very same prayer on a card in my Den too. My wife thought it funny and bought it for me to put up on my wall.

Does sound a good read , I do like the poem ,very apt especially me .

I've not read it, but must go and search out a copy looks like a nice read.

Love it, thanks for sharing it Mark.

Yet another great chapter, the more times I read this book the more I get lost in it, not bad for an 83 year old book, well done Arthur.

Leigh wrote:I did own a copy of the book some years ago, thank you for sharing the Anglers Prayer. If I recall there is a section that covers when the wind blows west the fish bite best? And yes a book that is 83 years old can still have an impact on our angling emotions today.

Yes in chapter III Leigh, 'Angling Wiles And Wisdom'.
