This quotation book includes angling quotes from Eric Morecambe, HM The Queen Mother, Isaak Walton and Thomas Bewick. Also included are H.E. Bate's awesome description of the predator - the pike, the "J.R. Hartley" debate, Charles Kingsley's descriptions of a chalk stream and an 1800-year-old description of fly fishing. For every angler, whatever his speciality, this book will attempt to enliven non-fishing days and make readers smile at such cynical definitions of angling as "incessant expectation and perpetual disappointment".
