Reading gaz fareham's ‘adrift' at the moment and it's good 👍

The Mrs bought me A Fool and his Eel by M Walsingham last night, I've been after that book for quite a while but wouldn't pay recent prices myself, why didn't I buy it at launch...doh.
I'm presently half way through Hutchies Carp Along the Way, vol 1, it's a good read, just hope I can get a copy of vol 2 without being robbed blind..hmm.
As mentioned Rob Maylins trilogy are good.

Im now reading Gareth Fareham Adrift book which is great, ive always enjoyed Gaz work in Subsuraface.

My favourite book is Confessions of a carp Fisher by BB,Cypry the Carp by Peter Mohan and Along Fisherman's paths by Mike Winter..

Mike Winter is Skeffs mentor ,..(Mark Walsingham)..,A fool and his eel ,which to my shame I have not read ,yet .

All four of those books are intertwined, and have to be read to understand the connection..especially if your a Devonian angler .

Chris Yates' Secret Carp is a great read, and you can pick it up fairly cheap compared to some of the others mentioned.

The Tom Bankes books are the best new fishing books that I have read in many years.

ill 2nd that, really enjoyed them..im now reading beyond the green gate, then hiding in the long grass...stuart Brooke's..

100% agree with the Tom Bankes books

When you read between the lines and take in what he is saying and the thoughts behind his methods he is absolutely next level

Some amazing fish too

Also think Gaz Farehams and Arron Coops are also good

Stuart Brookes - Beyond the Green Gate, and Hiding in the Long Grass are superb books. If you like these books Sam Barley did a great podcast with him.

I also think Terry Hearn's books are a class read and his writing is very evocative of how it must feel to be so utterly committed. His descriptions leading up to and including the outcome makes you feel you are there on the bank with him.

i have been "collecting" books for the winter.

Tom Bankes
Tim Paisley
Steve Briggs
Gareth Fareham
awaiting to be read

i prefer in some cases the look and feel of some of the older material (i like going through the older magazines and such)

A quick shout out for Stuart Harris who published 2x books which are an interesting read

Carbon to Cane & Coming of Age (little Egret Press)

All of Terry hearns , Dave lanes and darrel pecks are great . Also some others which don't get mentioned are oz Holnes , gaz fareham .

I must say one of the best I have read was Adam pennings . Like him or not it's a great book

Also like anything by rod Hutchinson . Too many to mention to be honest
