A few of Chris Yates books are available on kindle and are not particularly expensive.

Not the same as real book but still readable.

Have a look at this thread, there is a copy on eBay as I type.

Just spent the most wonderful time, sat listening to the musings of Mr Yates.... he takes you to where he is, and invites you to experience his senses, what he sees, the sounds, the whole day.

Summer seems so far away at this time of year .

There is a lot of truth in saying.... less is more.

Whilst listening I was looking out of the window watching the Shetland ponies , heads down munching the grassy tussocks in the fields opposite, seemingly oblivious to the damp, dank misty day with the occasional shower giving such a contrast to the words I was listening to, although I am sure in his way CY would see the beauty in such a scene.

Well that took me away for half hour and more.
I sent it over to my old mum ( 83) who loves fishing and to my Cousin who is yet to be converted.
They both loved it.
Thanks for letting us know.

Ps... this is the Reply from my Cousin. ( 64 year old keep fit instructor!)

How on earth did you find this ???

Just listened to it all , he caught a 51 pound carp ??

They can live to 100 ?

He called it the bishop , yes your dad would have love it ,


I’m not a fisherman,
But what a lovely bit of culture ,


Thanks it’s enhanced my outlook on life
The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!
