A thorough, skill-building guide that takes readers from the basics of fishing all the way to confident, real-world application. It focuses on understanding fish behaviour, reading water, choosing the right tackle and using effective techniques across a wide range of environments – from stillwaters and rivers to salt water shores. Rather than relying on guesswork, it teaches why certain methods work, helping readers make smarter decisions on the water. Key themes include fundamentals of gear selection, casting and presentation, knots and lure use, seasonal strategies and ethical angling practices, etc. This book is practical, encouraging and experience-driven, blending clear instruction with insights drawn from years of hands-on fishing. It’s written to build confidence step by step, making complex ideas easy to grasp without talking down to the reader. Ideal for beginners who want a strong foundation, as well as intermediate anglers looking to refine their skills and catch fish more consistently. It also suits readers who appreciate a reference they can return to again and again as their experience grows. Very good condition. Full colour drawings, diagrams and photographs throughout. Hardcover, large book at 28cm x 22cm, 474 pages.
