"Timothy is crazy about fishing, so a caravan on the banks of a Welsh trout stream is his idea of a perfect holiday. And it's even better when he makes friends with Willie Rees, a poacher, for Willie teaches Timothy about fly fishing and takes him to his own favourite spot for trout, the Pool of the Black Witch. Legend says the pool is cursed and Timothy starts to believe the old tales when he is dogged by bad luck. But all fisherman dream of catching a big one and Timothy is no exception". . .
