Yes, agreed. I bought this at the same time as Kevin Parr's 'Rivers Run' and thoroughly enjoyed both books.

I did the same Pete, both cracking books, both very different in style.CrayCane wrote:Yes, agreed. I bought this at the same time as Kevin Parr's 'Rivers Run' and thoroughly enjoyed both books.

I felt a paricular affinity with LMF, being a Wealden man I could identify strongly with many if not all of the places mentioned within along with the times in which the book refered.

Re: Love madness fishing
I've struggled with some of Dexter Petley's writing in the past but found this book a lot more readable. I'll have to revisit some of those articles.

Re: Love madness fishing
I will add this to my wish list - and no doubt receive it as a birthday gift in a couple of months time.
Seems likely to be an angling book I would like - lots.

I bought it but my son has borrowed it. Mind you, I hate the cover picture

Re: Love madness fishing
A very interesting read, more a life story with angling running through, quite a character is Dexter, fascinating. BBC Radio 4 has recently broadcast a piece on Carp featuring Dexter, worth a listen available on I Player.

Re: Love madness fishing
Thanks for that Mushy, just had a listen and found it most enjoyable. Don't think I could quite go to the extremity of Dexters living arrangements but I try to be in tune with nature and the environment as one could ....I don't think the ghillie would be too impressed with me only bathing a couple of times a year!
