Publishing a Fishing Book
The trials and tribulations of writing & publishing a fishing book in all its complexity. More to follow, the whole process from start to finish in fact and as it happens...
On Roach
Cogitations about my favourite fish, the roach. All I know about it, think I know about it, want to know about and don't know about it are expressed here.
My Quest for the Magic Two - Winter
My Quest for the Magic Two - Summer
The entire series of posts about my seemingly endless quest to catch a two pound roach from the local canals. I got close, very close indeed, too close for comfort at 1lb 15oz and 8 drams, and that within the first few weeks of starting but such really big fish have proved very elusive since then. Lots of fish over a pound, a few a half pound bigger still, but that rare 'two' is out there, I know it. One day it will fall, but when will that be...?
Small Stream Adventures
My exploits angling after the roach, perch and inadvertantly the pike population of a tiny local tributary of the Warwickshire Avon and further adventures elsewhere.
Lucioperca Problematica
All the efforts, trials, disappointments and successes experienced in my early days of fishing for the zander of the local cuts. Lots of fish, missed runs, thoughts about how to go about tackling them properly and hook experiments.
My Quest for a Big Cut Zed
The follow on series from Luciperca Problematica. Most of the problems are well sorted by now and then the pike finally put in an appearance after a noticeable absence from catches. All the fishing focusses on one venue and then, of course, the quest becomes just as focussed upon big pike as it does on big zander.
