First Edition, Excellent Condition, Printed 1992
SIGNED By Chris
It is every carp angler's dream to discover a long-neglected, overgrown lake which holds monster carp, and to be the first person to fish the water in living memory.
Chris Yates found himself in just such a fortunate position and he tells the fasinating story of how the mysteries of the lake and its giant residents slowly revealed themselves to his explorations with rod and line.
This book a must for all carp anglers. it contains many insights into the secretive behaviour of this king of freshwater fish, insights which come from someone who has spent a large part of his life in damp sleeping bags beside carp lakes waiting, watching and stalking his chosen quarry.
While this book does not pretend to be a 'how-to-do-it' guide, it will be impossible to read it without being stimulated by new ideas on how to go about catching carp and without being inspired by the author's refreshingly low-tech, high-spirited approach to his sport.
Full of moments of great angling drama, The Secret Carp is also a wonderful account of a magical summer on an English lake. Each event has the spontaneity of being a recorded as it happens by the waterside, and it comes from the pen of one of the most stylish and interesting fishing writers of today.
