I enjoyed the wraysbury chronicles . Chris Yates casting at the sun is one I've read a few times .

Read over the last couple of years or so;

Another Romp with Carp, Albert Romp - brilliant
Carping Mad - Spug Redfern - brilliant
Carping Mad 3 - Spug Redfern - brilliant
My Misspent Youth - Pecky - brilliant
Sticklebacks to Throwing Sticks - Tom Bankes - hard going
Rolling in The Deep - Adam Penning - hard going

Just about to start Nashy's two Memoir of a carp Fisher books,

The Eel Angler is a fantastic book. The best fishing book of recent years. I'm not an eel angler but I was engrossed.

I read and ,often read...Confessions of a carp Fisher,by BB ,my fave book and Cypry the Carp ,by Peter Mohan....both are inexplicably linked in the annals of history ,together ,literally...!

I often reread the carp strikes back , John Harry's savay and tels first book.

I still nead to read waiting for waddle which is in its cardboard protection box.

Funny what I decide to read and not.

In Pursuit of the Largest is a masterpiece in my opinion. I must admit that I don't find his other books to be anywhere near as engaging (although still some of the best angling literature I've ever read). I think it's because his first book documented his learning process in it's infancy - warts and all - whereas the latter books are written from the perspective of an accomplished angler who seems so good at catching carp that he can just about turn up anywhere and catch whatever he wants.

Wraysbury, the mere etc. great little stories!

I bought Dave Lanes Obsession with carp just afterwards, great angler, one of the best, just kind of duplicated Tels, similar waters and didn't enjoy it as much, swapped it for Jim Shelley's first book
