Dominic Garnett – författare

From outlining the basic different types of fishing and equipment needed to some delightfully fishy tales to literary figures who famously fished and expert tips on the craft of fishing, this book makes the perfect gift for anyone interested in this incredibly popular pastime.

There has long been a divide between flyfishing and coarse fishing – but there is no reason for it! Over 3 million people in Britain fish one way or the other – and there is growing interest in combining these two major areas of the sport.*  Existing flyfishers looking for a fresh challenge are already exploring the fun and fresh possibilities of new species.*  Coarse anglers are discovering the advantages of catching their favourite species in this exciting and intimate way.The reasons are simple enough: virtually any fish will take a fly, you can see it ‘as it happens’ and the fight of a fish on a flyrod is nothing short of sensational.This book shows you how to flyfish for each different species: the techniques, the flies, the tackle.Flyfishing for Coarse Fish will appeal to:*  fly and coarse fishers wanting to try something new.*  those wanting to introduce coarse fishing youngsters to the art of flyfishing, at a fraction of the cost.*  those living in areas where flyfishing would not other wise be available, or at such an affordable price.

With details of venues and notable fish records from every part of the UK, this book also represents an essential guide to Britain’s canals.
