How to Catch a Fish

How to Catch a Fishby Kevin Ireland
For award-winning writer and poet Kevin Ireland, fishing - especially for the elusive trout - is not an idle pastime but a passionate love affair with the natural world.

This fine, funny, beautiful book should be on the shelf of every fisherman - and woman - and their long-suffering friends and family.

'Ireland demystifies fishing. How welcome that is. He's informative but never omniscient, and often very clever and amusing. It's brilliant and I loved it'
