This remarkable collection of personal fishing tales from around the world is the perfect gift for any angler whose aspirations take him or her beyond the riverbank. In ten hugely entertaining and well-illustrated fishing tales, internationally renowned author, photographer, and angler John Bailey recounts some of the best and worst aspects of his worldwide pursuit of fish. Bailey shares his horrifying brushes with espionage and death in the world's most remote and inhospitable places, and introduces readers along the way to a motley array of characters, as well as an immense variety of fish! Written with great energy, enthusiasm, and respect for the wild, True Tales from an Expert Fisherman is a singular record of one man's lifelong passion for fishing.
"The title received the Book of the Year Award from the Angling Writers Association, and details Bailey's travels around the world in ten well-written and illustrated principle stories from one of Britain's best-known angling personalities."
