THE SECRET CARP. By Chris Yates.

(1992) 1997 2nd edn revised. 8vo (160 x 240mm). Ppv,171. B/w illustrations by Clare Yates. Black boards, spine titled in gilt.

"The Secret Carp is a fishing book with a difference. As The Independent comments, it is one of the few books that manages to capture the real joy of fishing in such a way that even a non-angler could be seduced. It tells the true story of the events of a single day and night beside an English carp lake in high summer". This new edition includes the new chapter "The lost lake revisited". Most certainly one of Chris Yates' finest books.
