Go Fishing Books

Post by Mark »

I have the following three hardback books from John Wilson's Go Fishing series, were there any more issued or just these three that relate to the original Anglia Go Fishing series.

I think the Go Fishing Techniques is one of the finest 'how-to' angling books ever written.


There is another version of 'Go Fishing with John Wilson' which has him on the front cover with some big crucians. They are actually from a Swedish water.

According to Wiki there is a "Go Fishing Programme Notes from the Anglia Television Series Presented by John Wilson (1997)".

This sounds interesting, anyone got a copy of this.

Hi Mark

I have a different looking book which I think may be the same as the yellow one you have but in hardback.

I also have a notes from the 1995 series small booklet. I remember pestering my parents to order it from channel 4 as a teenager, I've still got it all these years later. Might be the one you were referring to.

I've tried to upload a picture but not sure how to do it so apologies if it doesn't work.

Cheers
Alan

Mark,

You might be able to get an angle (couldn't resist the pun) on what is available by looking at this link:

Thank you for the link Barbelseeker, I think I have all John's books except the blue one that Alan lists above and the Go Fishing Programme Notes from the Anglia Television Series if this is different to the blue book. If anyone has anyone of these two books that they would like to sell please drop me a PM. :Hat:
