"Curiously, I feel more alive when I go fishing ...to be in seclusion, at one with the landscape, seems to touch a hidden chord within me." More exploits hunting specimens and obscurities: Carp, tench, roach, huge catfish and some shore fishing. Cornwall, Catalonia, Godalming, Twyning Fleet on the Avon and elsewhere, with accounts of missions to capture many minor species. Varied and entertaining accounts of an enthusiastic amateur.The third in Martin's oeuvre, this book follows It Started With a Perch and Cast a Clever Line.
