Well deserved review - this is a fabulously rich book and the photography superb. As always CY manages to sum up the magic of fishing and the simple joy of using a float.

That is a nice write up for a lovely book.

Good morning Gentlemen,
..... CY does it again! Another lovely piece of writing.
He always seems to make me drowsy with his descriptive writing (certainly not meant in a disparaging way!).

I wouldn't have thought that anyone could have a lot to say about something as small as a float.
Proved wrong again by Mr Yates and his fabulous way of writing.
Thanks for the link SK.

God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.

Excellent review but the quotation attributed to Eric Parker was actually by H.T.Sheringham in An Open Creel!
