Maurice Wiggin's book, The Passionate Angler inspired the world-class BBC series, A Passion for Angling, in which Chris Yates starred. The success of this film catapulted this quiet, modest man into the limelight, and into the homes of anglers and non-anglers alike. It opened up a whole new world of exploration for him, and when Penguin/Hamish Hamilton published 'How to Fish' in 2006, it became an overnight success.

'Out of the Blue' published by Hamish Hamilton on the 4th September, 2008, looks set to outstrip 'How to Fish' in terms of sales. The book is already on its 2nd print run, which might come as a surprise to people who previously saw Chris as a coarse fisherman, because this wonderful new book is about sea fishing; ...

Get past Wilson's gurning, mugging puss and you have an excellent reference book. This book will teach you everything you need to know about rigs, hooks and knots. It is clearly set out with good clear photographs and instructions so it is useful for beginners and intermediates alike.

Read this book on the train and practice at home during February & March when the shore fishing in this country is shocking. Just knowing two or three of the knots and rigs in this book will improve your fishing no end. Good knots do not break. You'll keep more fish and have more confidence in your casting.

The second section of the book concerns bait. What to look for and how to hook and present it. Again a couple of tips learned ... Read More:

Perhaps the most over-rated book of all time. A book that boasts absolutly no substance and is sure to kill anyone who has even the slightest slither of personality. For me this book exemplifies everything wrong with the critical world; distinctly average and even poor books and films etc. are hailed as materpieces due to the alledged 'body of thourght' behind them. I can assure you there is no 'thought' here, at least none above the mundane and enfantile.
I am fully aware of the 'messages' such as 'material gain is worthless', however these values are extremly rudimentary and are learnt as a child. Essentially, 'The old man and the sea' tells us nothing that we didn't already know and, perhaps more impotantly, is just a crap story.

To polarise a needle to use as a compass, Do NOT wrap a wire round it and leave it connected for 5 MINUTES ....to a battery.. You can just touch the wires onto a battery for a couple of seconds to do the same job..and not waste a maybe essential battery.( you are shorting it out ) and that`s never a good idea..You can polarise a needle just by hitting it with a stone onto another stone..the molecules rearrange themselves with the Earths own magnetic field.
Also, in the section dealing with electrocution, providing the victim has dry clothing, you can pull him/her clear without fear of a shock yourself.grab their coat or pullover or whatever..The book says wait for the current to be turned off or something similar.....There may not be time !

This is probably the best book ever crafted of this length. It is short, but extremely elegant. Hemingway's terse style truly shines through in this book and the imagery is outstanding. The story keeps you as hooked as the fish on the old man's line and you feel the frustrations and triumphs as keenly as he does. Simply beautiful and one of the best examples of why Hemingway is loved so. Well worth a go.

If there's a better book than this on fishing then I've not seen it. A joy from start to finish from our greatest living angling writer.

I don't know the first thing about fishing and am really not that interested in it, but I bought this for my dad and thought I'd just skim a few pages before wrapping it. I ended up reading the whole thing. It's beautifully illustrated and really well written, making an otherwise dull pastime seem almost worth participating in. Actually I think I might go with my dad next time he goes fishing. It's not too technical but full of what I assume is good advice. And I really liked all the non-technical pages like 'Ghosts' which demonstrate the author's love for fishing and confirm it's really not about the number of fish you catch.

When starting fly-fishing I bought a few magazines and used the internet to try and get an idea of what I needed to do, but that approach is far too 'bitty' and a good book setting everything out in a clear and logical order was required.

It proved very difficult to find a decent book written specifically for a UK beginner, and so I bought this one. It's rather good, particularly in the opening chapters on what gear you really need and how to put everything together, and in the way that it aims to get you on the water as soon as possible with subsequent chapters infilling with detail to start the long and continual process of improvement. Fortunately US and UK fishing lingo seems to be the same, so there's no problem interpreting terminology, and Fuller's writing style ... Read More:

i purchased the book called "coarse fishing a step by step guide" when it arrived i thought it looked familiar,and it is! not only is the above title but as explained in the book it once was "the practical guide to course fishing" and once more for luck published as "the practical fishing encyclopedia", i wonder if it has titles up its sleeve.
