John Bailey has gathered together a team who recount some fishing adventures from waters as far apart as the Arctic Circle and the Tropics. Great rivers such as the Ganges, the Nile and the Amazon, and other famous waters, are explored by contributors who include Kevin Maddocks, Paul Boote and Shirley Deterding. There are tales of battles with dramatic species such as the mahseer, the Norwegian salmon and the porbeagle shark, and a look at the fabled tunney and other rare saltwater species.
