The story of Len Arbery's life as an angler. It recounts his humble beginnings at the local village pond, right through the years and waters, right up to the rarified atmosphere at the most famous carp lake in the land, Redmire Pool, and the characters that enriched his life along the way. Foreword by Dave Steuart and contributions by Bob Buteux, Bill Quinlan, Bob Harrington, Tony Arbery and Kevin Clifford.

I fished redmire with len for a night last year. He's a really nice chap, and makes a mean fried egg sandwich! Massive mine of information and stories as well. Felt rather privileged.

Another wonderful book I am proud to say I have, although, haven't got round to reading yet.
