This is the story of a lifetime spent fishing the Thames. Much loved Thames angler Peter Stone recalls his many adventures on this most historic river: the time he went with his father to night-line for eels in the 1930s; watching brown trout chasing minnows; his first sight of wild otters; chub fishing on the dry fly; and an amusing account of pike fishing in C.S. Lewis's garden! Attractive black and white illustrations by John Searl and a foreword by Peter Drennan. This first edition was limited to 900 numbered cloth-bound and 93 leather-bound copies and quickly sold out.
