fishing personally

[St.John]

Anyone else read this? Nice wee book and made me chuckle. Forgotten the author I'm afraid. somebody Hill maybe

[Skeff]

Bill Hill. A lovely book and on my wish list.... I borrowed a copy and enjoyed it enormously.

[DaceAce]

I enjoyed it, too. He did another one called 'Fishing without Tears'.

[Skeff]

I didn't know Bill had written another book DaceAce - thanks.... This is starting to get expensive!

Reviving an old thread - I picked up a copy in a second hand book store the other day. Very enjoyable to read.

Yes I remember "Fishing without Tears" being a very good read, quite witty in parts.

I was fortunate to have "Billy" Hill as my Chief Editor at the Bournemouth Echo, when I starting working there in 1981. Transferring my skills to the Echo Composing Room, from a small jobbing printers called Broglia Press in the town.
Our paths crossed a couple of times at Hale Park on the Hampshire Avon, after he retired. Always generous with advice and sharing his maggots. Although he was much older then, he was a pleasure to chat with and still mad keen on fishing in all its forms.

I'm a sucker for a recommendation..
Bagged a copy yesterday for less the price of pint of ale including postage!
Then.... thought for a minute... haven't I already got that one . ( just checked no I haven't)
Sounds a good read.

I'm about halfway through it. Interesting and entertaining, and quite a bit of what he says would strike a chord with people here.

Mine's on its way, looking forward to reading it.
