Format:Paperback
This book was interesting and informative. It has given me a simplistic grip on the basics as well as an overview on the tougher aspects of Course fishing. Steve Partner's writing allows you to develop your skills without patronising an experienced angler, like myself. I have a decent range of fishing books (Course fishing a speciality) and I rate this book highly. It has now become an essential part of my fishing kit. If there are any more books in this series count me in.

To a degree the book's title does not do it justice. It is much more than your basic book on angling and actually covers most of the methods that are normally used to get fish on to your hook. There are articles on fishing with the float, an ideal method for the younger angler, although many older anglers prefer this method as they like the thrill of watching the float go under the water when they get a bite.
It covers what many anglers consider the lazy method ledgering, although nowadays this is very far from the truth, as this method has become very technical, involving lots of different rig set ups and bite indicators. The book also covers spinning, a method usually used for predatory fish such as perch and pike and there is always the chance that the odd trout will also take a spinning lure.
There is also information on removing the hook without harming the fish. Information is also given about looking for areas of water that hold fish and this is one of the most important skills of all for an angler. You can be the best angler in the world but if there are no fish where you have chosen to fish, or the peg you are in if you have drawn a place in a match, then you are not going to catch anything.
Angling is one of the best and most peaceful of pastimes and the next best thing is reading about it. Enjoy the book.
