TO CATCH A FISH: FISHING ONWARD THROUGH LIFE. by Lionel R.H.G. Leach.

(1992) 1995 1st US edition. 8vo (159 x 236mm). Ppiv,129. B/w photographs, maps, wildfowling short story laid in on a loose sheet. Green cloth, spine titled in gilt.

Fishing adventures with "Bulgy" Leach and his very sporting wife, Joan. Mostly salmon and trout, in Spain, Kenya, Ethiopia, Kashmir, Chile, Labrador,British Columbia, Scotland, Ireland and Norfolk. This American edition has two extra sections at the beginning of the Labrador chapter, and an extra short story laid in on a separate sheet. The text has been lightly edited to make it more comprehensible to an American readership, but not so much as to get in the way. ' "The more I read 'To Catch A Fish', the more I liked it. My only complaint is that it wasn't longer. What happens to this former WWII British artillery officer on his fishing excursions is reading you won't want to release." Barry Serviente, world's largest fly fishing book dealer.' Oops! Thought that was me!
