Condition: new. (Paperback, 2012). 2012 1st edition - paperback issue. 8vo (158 x 233mm). Pp240. Colour and b/w photographs. Fine new copy. "Chris started fishing as a young lad at Keston Fish Ponds, where he learned his angling skills by catching roach, rudd, perch, tench and pike. He was determined to catch one of the large carp he saw and soon crossed paths with two seasoned carp fishers, Steve Edwards and Ken Rowley, who saw in him the burning ambition to catch a Keston carp. They took him under their wings and set him on a path towards a lifetime of carp fishing. He became the youngest person ever to join the British Carp Study Group, enabling him to join Ashlea Pool in 1970 with Ken Rowley. Since those days he has gone on to catch a number of carp in excess of 40lb. This by using his own tried and tested rigs and bait - detailing these, and the reasons for using them, in this book." Tales from a short session carp angler that cover waters such as Ashlea Pool, Redmire, Crayfish Pool, Yateley, Horton, Wraysbury, Dorchester Lagoon and more. For around twenty-five years, Chris ran a successful bait company and so a great deal of the book concerns the effectiveness of certain flavours, ingredients and other aspects of boilies and boilie making. With a foreword by Lee Jackson and a preface by Tony Tappenden. .

(Hardcover, 2012 ). 2012 1st edition. 8vo (162 x 240mm). Pp304. Sepia and b/w photographs, silk marker ribbon. Brown boards, decorated in gilt. Edition limited to 550 numbered copies. Near fine copy in very slightly used dust-wrapper, signed by the author. Edition limited to 550 copies. ANGLING is a series of articles written by Dave Steuart for Angling Magazine from 1967 until 1977. At the time he was also running a busy tackle shop. The chosen episodes are nearly all of coarse fishing although Dave wrote many articles on sea and game fishing at the time. "Once you start reading this book you will realise Dave was far ahead of his time not only with the rods he made but with rigs and methods he used to tremendous success. Today's anglers have much to thank him for. When you consider he was only able to fish on one day per week except for holidays makes this even more remarkable. The articles are packed with valuable tips and ideas on how to read the many waters he fished that wouldalso be viable today. He is a master at long-trotting with a centre pin reel and his prolific catches of barbel, chub, carp and pike would be difficult to surpass with our latter day knowledge and tackle. What also comes across in the book is Dave's impish sense of humour from which a number of well known anglers have been, at times, heckled (in print). Dave was also outspoken in his writings on the subject of dredging and so called improvements to some of our best Southern rivers and through these articles was invited to discuss the problems with the relevant authorities - often too late. This at a time when there were few other bodies to fight the angler's case. The book is full of historical photographs taken at the time by his late wife Kay - also an exceptional angler who often surpassed Dave in catches and personal bests." With introductory material by John Roberts and Brian Harris. The dust-wrapper illustration is by John Searl. .
