.# A small format basic beginner's guide to coarse fishing". If you are very young and inexperienced you can catch fish with the lightest and simplest tackle. As you progress you can add roach poles, bait trays, maggapults, electronic bite detectors and as much sophistication as you can carry to the water's edge. And at a much later age, with the wisdom - and consideration - of later years, you can return to that favourite swim with the minimum of equipment to enjoy the exhilharation of the 'rod-bender'. The basics of everything you need to know are in this simple to read and incredibly comprehensive little book". Titled on the front cover The Angling Handbook. Includes seventeen pages at rear to record details of fishing sessions.
