Review:
Synopsis:
‘Clarke's non-judgmental approach is a delight. Fishing needs more of this’
Financial Times Magazine
‘(Clarke) is a consummate wordsmith, crafting words with succinct, lucid sentences to set the scene for action or discussion ... essential reading for anyone who's interested in our vital aquatic environment.’
BBC Country File
‘... this collection of articles and essays on piscatorial pleasures shows why it is more than just anglers who are drawn to the contemplative flow of his near-perfect pastoral prose.’
Scottish Field
More praise for Brian Clarke:
The Stream (2000) - an environmental novel:
'Devastatingly effective ... ought to be required reading.’
The Times
'Magically wrought ... a parable for our times.'
The Sunday Times
'The most significant book of its kind I have read since Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.’
David Arnold Forster, Chief Executive, English Nature
Trout etcetera (1996):
'Instant classic, I'd say ... Marvellously well-written. Enviably written.’
Ted Hughes
A lifetime's fishing experiences written by one of the UK's leading fly fishermen. Brian Clarke is one of the world's most famous fly fishermen and also one of the leading writers on the sport. A compilation of his most important articles from the last thirty years, this book is essential reading for anyone who is interested in catching fish with rod and line by any methods, but particularly by Brian's favourite method for his favourite fish -- the pursuit of the trout with a fly. His experience shines through every page and gives a whole new perspective on how to catch fish, or why you can't catch fish, or why you won't catch fish. He also looks at the threats to the fish themselves and why the fisherman has been the very first person to highlight what we are doing to the world below the surface of the water. It is a distillation of a lifetime's experience and will give everyone who reads it a better understanding of both the fisherman and the fish they pursue. One of the world's leading fishing writers, Brian is world famous for his book (with John Goddard) The Trout and the Fly, which revolutionized fly fishing and is an international bestseller.He is the fishing correspondent of The Times -- a column that is required reading for every fisherman.
