The River Prince, a compilation of barbel stories, mainly on the Thames and involving fishing from a punt, selected by Chris Yates. Nearly finished. Really put me in the mood for the barbel this summer. Just altered two old aluminium yacht masts to use as stakes to fix the punt to, when fishing, should I need them. Now to start collecting the thousands of lob worms that I'll need, not to mention several kilos of clay! :liar:

Trout of the Thames, by AE Hobbs. Another excellent read to get me in the mood for the coming season.

Just ordered myself a copy of Old Father Thames, it's one that I'm missing in the Medlar collection.
