About this title

Synopsis:

**This elegant new edition of Chris Yates' fine angling tales features a gold-blocked cover, coloured end-papers and matching head and tail bands**

In this rich collection of angling tales, Chris Yates has paired together his experiences of carp, barbel, pike, roach, gudgeon, chub, even bass.

Within each pair of essays, the angling anecdotes mirror each other in strange and surprising ways.

Falling in Again finds Chris in search of a 'lost' carp lake, being mugged on the River Mole, and dangling breadcrust for chub from an overhanging tree, but throughout he is exploring the patterns of angling, the links between angling in boyhood and middle age.

These are tales of fishing in innocence and experience, in which the mysteries of angling remain greater than the man, whose destiny is to keep falling in again.

About the Author:

Chris Yates, who lives in Wiltshire, has written many books recording his life-long infatuation with fishing and he has contributed to many angling magazines. He is also a professional photographer whose work has appeared on music covers, magazines and books.

In 1980 he caught a massive carp from Redmire Pool in Herefordshire. It weighed 51½lb and for 15 years it remained the British record.

In 1993 he completed A Passion for Angling, a six-part BBC film and accompanying book, which told the story of his fishing adventures with friends Hugh Miles and Bob James.
