A Midsummer Night Stream

From boyhood adventures with sticklebacks and small perch to encounters with huge sea trout in wild Welsh rivers on lonely summer nights, this memoir is a thoughtful journey through a lifetime's angling, from the earliest beginnings with bent pin and worm to success with big fish and experiences in later life as an angling writer. It is full of tales to thrill the angler's blood, along with many entertaining stories of encounters with other fishermen, but above and beyond that it is an exploration of the dreams, passions and frustrations that lie at the heart of angling.
