# "...this book is unique in angling in that it is published in facsimile form - that is to say, Ian's original hand-written pages have been reproduced exactly as they were written. Some of his sketches and water-colours, produced contemporaneously with his journal pages, have beenreproduced, too." From the Introduction by Jim Gibbinson. An attractively produced reproduction of angling diaries, beautifully written and illustrated by hand. The author is well-known in the world of carp fishing, corresponding with Dick Walker and Jim Gibbinson and fishing Redmire Pool. However, his fishing interests were much wider than just carp, and much of the content is on pike and coarse fishing, Blagdon pike and trout, and salmon in Scotland and on the River Wye.
