1980 1st edition. 8vo (142 x 221mm). Pp191. B/w photographs, illustrations, maps. Brown boards, spine titled in gilt.

"Ken Cope knows all the principal canals from long experience. He opens his book with a brief history of the canal networks that will enhance the interest of their waters, and wrinkles that any canal angler needs to know, be it on technique, tackle, baits or the fish themselves. There is a chapter on the increasingly popular sport of canal match fishing and, of course, a long section on where to fish the major waterways for the best results". An invaluable reference work for all canal fishermen.
