Falling in Again: Tales of an Incorrigible Angler

by Chris Yates

In this rich collection of angling tales, Chris Yates has paired together his experiences of carp, barbel, pike, roach, gudgeon, chub, even bass.


Within each pair of essays, the angling anecdotes mirror each other in strange and surprising ways.


Falling in Again finds Chris in search of a 'lost' carp lake, being mugged on the River Mole, and dangling breadcrust for chub from an overhanging tree, but throughout he is exploring the patterns of angling, the links between angling in boyhood and middle age.


These are tales of fishing in innocence and experience, in which the mysteries of angling remain greater than the man, whose destiny is to keep falling in again.

Another must read from Mr Yates.

[Jim · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really enjoyed this book. It's a unique setup, the stories are laid out in pairs, one from Yates' youth and one from more current times sharing a common theme. You get the feeling and joy of childhood days spent fishing, the happiness found in reliving them as an adult, and the feeling of satisfying commiseration that comes from know one of the foremost anglers in Great Britain still gets skunked, falls in, and has all the frustrations that make fishing what it is. Highly recommended!
