Tom O'Reilly pursues carp and coarse species in his native Cornwall. "Tom O'Reilly guides us through a year of his favourite ponds and their inhabitants, plotting the seasons and watching the change they bring, reflecting on the catches which evaded him and eagerly anticipating the opportunities to come. ...A charming addition to the literature of fishing."
