Re: How We Fish
I saw this book in Waterstones and have a copy from the library. It just seems weird to me????

Re: How We Fish
John Bailey is a wealth of knowledge and experience. I used to have a book written by him (long since lost) so it might be a good read.

Re: How We Fish
I haven’t picked it up yet so curious as to what in your opinion makes it weird Mark?

Re: How We Fish
Lots of mutual back-slapping, sometimes a bit creepy, and sickly sweet. Some of the method descriptions are below basic. I'm struggling with it.
As I'm in Libraries West (all libraries in the SW of England) it's easy to order a copy though having paid for the reservation I noticed a copy on the new books stand.
In the past year the two outstanding fishing books for me have been Stick Float Wizardry by Jim Baxter et al and the latest John Gierach book, both superb.

Re: How We Fish
I guess it's targeted for the wider audience. I'm suprised how many people like the programme who I know have never angled. I can take or leave the programme myself.

Re: How We Fish
Just finished reading it and enjoyed it,reminded me of my angling learning curve over the last 60 years and the benefits of keeping it simple. Far more enjoyable than watching boring videos posted by knowalls.

There was supposed to be a Bailey/Whitehouse How We Fish Live Roadshow but it's been cancelled.
