Synopsis:

Aiming to dispel the notion that the rewards of fishing rivers for big, powerful fish hardly justify the trouble, this book sets out to show that, with the right outlook and approach, very big river fish can be caught consistently by any angler who is prepared to invest the necessary time and effort. Len Arbery, a leading big-fish angler, reveals many of the secrets of his success, such as where in the river big fish are likely to be found, what baits to use and the importance of bite detection in varying conditions. He also describes effective techniques and recent tackle innovations. Ecological issues are raised and discussed, such as the conservation work being carried out on one of the best-known stretches of the Hampshire Avon.
