# "If you've read Dave's first, highly acclaimed book, An Obsession with Carp, then you'll have a bit of an idea what to expect from [A Flick of the Tail]. If you haven't read it, then this will really open your eyes to the world of 'specimen' carp angling. Wildlife, the best bite, the longest fight, the biggest fish - all gloriously illustrated. The obsession still burns, although Dave has a modicum of control over it now, but [with] rewards amongst the most sought after in the carp world. This is a book that will amuse, amaze and astound you - and hopefully inspire you, with chapters on Conningbrook, St.Ives, the Secret Mere and many more... Take care as you go, and beware the brambles!" Chapters include:- Blood sweat and Guiness; A voyage of discovery; A new arrival; Conningbrook; The Secret Garden; Sonning, the great unknown; Close encounters; The Forbidden Lands; End of an era; Paradise found; Dinton Pastures; Paradise revisited; Back to nature; Bruno and friends; A frozen adventure; One step behind; The fat lady sings; Black Jack Shellack; Going home.
