Additional dedication: "To Alfred, a true Walker fan. Best wishes, Peter Maskell." A selection of Richard Walker's articles from Angling Times and Fishing magazine. This edition was limited to only 500 numbered copies and quickly sold out. "The late Dick Walker is widely acknowledged as the Godfather of modern angling. From first hitting the headlines in 1952, when he shattered the existing carp record to smithereens with 'Clarissa' his 44lb fish, he went on to inspire generations of anglers with his fish-catching exploits. He shared the secrets of his success, freely, through the vast quantity of his writing - which included a weekly column for Angling Times that ran for more than 30 years, and articles for other angling publications. Fishing with Walker is a selection of articles that covers the major coarse fish species, detailing how to catch them and the tactics to use, plus some outspoken opinions on topics that remain controversial today. The articles are taken from both Fishing magazine and Angling Times and none have ever appeared in book form before. Enjoy the words of wisdom from a true Angling Legend."

"For nearly four decades Dick Walker was widely acknowledged as the leading angler of his day and the greatest angling writer of all time. He first hit the headlines in 1952 with the sensational capture of Clarissa, the 44lb carp that smashed the British carp record to pieces and remained on the record list for more than 30 years. In 1953 he continued making headlines - this time with a weekly column in the world's best-selling angling newspaper, Angling Times. It was a weekly column he would continue to write for the next thirty years. Be My Guest is a compilation of his most famous series of articles - the Conversation Pieces written in the early 1960s. Join him as his guest on the bankside as he fishes for a variety of species throughout the calendar year and absorb the skills and watercraft that made him such a great angler."
