J. R. Hartley's best catch to date is the public imagination.  But here are his elusive fishing recollections told in a series of soemtimes vividly comic chronological cameos, ranging over period and location - from Yorkshire schooldays in the early 30's through memorable outings on chalk stream, spate river and loch, to a startling conclusion half a lifetime later on a Scottish summer night.

With evocative illustrations and angling expertise lightly threaded throughout, this is a story that will touch every fly fisherman and woman's experience.  It's also an engaging portrait for even those who have never held a rod, of the ultimate reluctant hero.

Excellent condition throughout, just a small corner missing on dust jacket where price has been removed.  127 pages, charming black and white illustrations, 6" x 8" approx.  Published by Stanley Paul, illustrations by Paul Benson.
