I found rolling in the deep hard to read and follow. Personally I find a chronological order far easier to read and follow so the way Adam jumps around didn't really work for me

If you haven't read Dave Lane's second book then I would recommend it thoroughly, particularly the section which covers the Mere and the Fjords at St. Ives. Alternatively, I would recommend signing up to his Patreon and watching the videos which cover the contents of the book with extra details and picture.

What's the 2nd book called?

Paying, can't ever see that

A Flick of the Tale. I agree it's his best book, and I quite like the other 2 as well

Great book

I will have a look pal, cheers

Bit leftfield from most of the titles so far (In Pursuit is incredible), but for any of us that are really into their surface fishing Chris Ball and Brian Skoyles 'Floater Fishing' from the Carp in depth series is superb. So much in there.

Written in 1991, and so much of it still relevant.

I love a geek out, so I have one copy at home and one in my studio as it is a lot of fun and proper escapism to dip in and out of, here's a photo of the cover:

Anyone else read it?

Great collection of stories... my favourite being the one from a member of this forum

Beauties and the Beasts - John Claridge
Living the Dream - Nigel Sharp

Obsession with carp and in pursuit of the largest, are my top two. I've also always enjoyed Tim Paisley books. Carp season is one I've read a few times over the years.

One of the things I absolutely love about this forum are the wealth of memories we can tap into, I've recently been reminded in another thread of another worthy of dusting off and that's Jim Gibbinson's book from back in the 70's simply entitled "Carp"

👍👍

New book coming out at Xmas which I think will be a bit special, Hiding in the tall grass, sequel to Behind the green gates.
