IN WILD WATERS. By John Bailey.

1989 1st edition. 4to (192 x 252mm). Pp142. Colour and b/w photographs and illustrations. Blue boards, spine titled in gilt.

John Bailey's exciting accounts of expeditions in search of carp, pike, barbel and ferox trout. "At once anecdotal and instructional, the book takes readers from the banks of the River Wye to Loch Lomond; from chub and barbel to ferox fishing. Writing in his own, now characteristic, style, John Bailey recalls his exploits, introduces companions along the way and explains the tactics adopted for each catch."
