"In this record of his co-tenancy of the famous Hampton Bishop stretch of water, the title of 'Diary' is perhaps misleading, for here is no bare list of day by day events, catches and disappointments. Rather is the book an absorbing picture of the fishing and of people most connected with the water, together with incident and anecdote clothing the bare bones of the Diary which Hutton has kept from his earliest days." "Very detailed diary of salmon fishing for 25 seasons on this three-mile stretch of the Wye. Catches seem quite fabulous today in size and quantity." (Thomas).
