In 28 stories the author recounts the varied history of his fishing, from the time when he beheld the first carp to the moments when the monster rolled into his landing net. In between come tales of magical lakes set in remote and forgotten landscapes, epic battles with unseen giants, mad expeditions in search of the ultimate carp water, haunted pools, old pubs, warm-hearted countrymen and the benign spirit of Izaak Walton.
