Shadows & Reflections: Favourite Carp Stories

by Chris Yates (Editor)

An anthology of Chris Yates' favourite carp stories. From Sheringham to Ransome, 'BB' to Albert Buckley and many others, this book gives you an insight into the minds of the great carp fishers. 'You know, I always think that carp fishing is an ideal sport for lovers. Take a man and a maid, make them as much in love as you like, as bad a case as ever you saw, I mind not. Think of the time when you gazed into the eyes of the one girl in the world, and did not care if it snowed ink. He looks into her eyes, she looks into his and they keep on doing it until they hypnotise each other stone silly This can be done while carp fishing without the least fear of the float misbehaving itself; it can be relied upon to play the sedate gooseberry to perfection, never moving, never indulging in so much as a sly twinkle.' (W. G. Clifford)
