Angling News Rating
Rarely does a new angling book come my way that has captivated as this little gem, for me it has everything, quirky, totally unusual, so very different, form many of the factually, authors blowing their own trumpets, of impossible catches achieved and the usual how to do and where and when. The Anglers Companion comes very close to one of my all time best angling reads and a great addition to my angling library. It really is a must buy and read book, well done to the author and all involved.
