Infused with wit and wisdom, this book on fly fishing, coarse fishing, and sea fishing reflects Ian Botham's fishing experiences and passion for the sport. Packed with anecdotes and stories, there are also instructions and diagrams, compendia of equipment and bait, sections on Botham's favorite rivers and how to fish them, and guides to everything from the life cycle of a game fish to cleaning, gutting, filleting, and cooking your catch outdoors. Threaded throughout are the author's own experiences, both in Britain and around the world—flyfishing with David Lloyd and Mike Atherton in Australia, big game fishing with Viv Richards in the West Indies, Masheer fishing in India, and trout fishing in New Zealand.
