This book arose out of the expedition to film the series A Passion for Angling, first shown in 1993. "The trouble is, the continuing enthusiasm of A Passion for Angling finally got to me and I started to think about embarking on the same crazy journey once again. But how could we make a new series different - and perhaps even better?" Filming the new series was as much an adventure as filming the first series had been. This is the story of that adventure, and it is just that - the story of an angling expedition. You come away thinking that the series rather took second place to the expedition itself, and this book is far more than just a spin-off from the series. The book of the expedition, not the book of the series. Well worth a read.
