Book recommendations please.

[Cat]

Evening All,
Would some of you learned Gentlemen please recommend some winter escape books for dark evenings beside the fire? I'm thinking along the lines of Walker, BB, Yates, et al... mystical stories of carp, salmon and maseer greatly appreciated as alleviation to this miserable winter rain.
Thank you
Cat.

Brendon Chase. In fact anything by BB.

[Liphook]

Everything by BB is indeed great reading! If you enjoy game/fly fishing then Rodderick Haig Brown is another winner. 'Going Fishing' by Negley Farson is an all rounders classic

[Marks7]

I’m currently reading ‘I Know a Good Place’ by the late lamented Clive Gammon; great fishing stories by a great writer.

How To Fish by Chris Yates... a magical little book and probably my favourite fishing book

[Harry H]

The secret Carp Chris Yates, it'll make you want to go fishing.

[Cat]

Hi All,
I think I've read all the BB, Chris Yates and Richard Walker books. I've just finished Rod and Line (again)...the tackle shop chapter is still making me laugh!
Keep the titles coming please.
Regards Cat

With the exception of one book of fishing tales, I prefer old “How To” books that I can dip in and out of, learning something new or, increasingly often these days, re-learning something I forgot.

My current 2 favourites are:

“Practical Fishing for the so called coarse fishes“ J. W. Martin (The Trent Otter)
“The Angler’s Companion” Bernard Venables

The single book of fishing tales that has captured me is “Fishing For a Year” Jack Hargreaves. It’s a delightful little book which I regularly return to.

How about Lost in a Quiet World by Paul Cook - the tale of a boys quest for his first big carp.
A modern classic with some fine artwork to boot, and one of my favourites.

Split Cane and Sable by Robin Armstrong - a fitting book for a winter read, blazing fireside a familiar armchair, a vintage brandy - and your away .........

A Dream of Jewelled Fishes by John Aston is another fine read.

Tom’s Book Robert Olsen is another - his latest is an exceptionally good read also - Waterlust.
