A new selection of Walker's best articles from "Angling Times" dating from 1960-1966. As usual, Walker dispenses much wisdom on tactics and the feeding habits of fish. There is a particularly good section on big barbel. This is an open edition but the first 500 copies were numbered and signed by publisher and illustrator, Tom O'Reilly. This copy is not signed and is numbered as "Over 500". The publisher has long sold out of this edition.
