Signed by the author with thumbnail sketch. Chris Yates' modern classic; one of the most collectible of modern angling books. A record of the author's early days right through to his capture of the record carp from Redmire Pool. "I have hardly changed anything in this edition, though, as I said, it might have benefitted from a few lost fish. Perversely, all I've really done is to actually add more carp. The additional chapter (The Way Home) was one that continued the events recounted in The Bell at Byton (chapter XII), but which I didn't include in the original book because I felt it lessened the sublime anti-climax of the story. Perhaps it is a sign of impending senility, but I now feel happier about relating the untold ending." (From the foreword to this 1995 2nd edition). . Nº de ref. del artículo: 55810
