Which one lure will catch tigerfish, Nile perch, catfish, Tilapia, etc? Where do you catch a tigerfish, and then how do you deal with its teeth? When is a fish going to kill you if you eat it?

The third section provides a brief description and numerous pictures of the life and work of small-scale commercial Somono fishers. The final section documents two traditional fire hunts on the Niger River floodplain. The quality of photos is better than most pictures of the Loch Ness Monster." "Kelly has produced a book of class about fishing in a region where few of us are likely to get the chance to visit. a mixture of absolute self-effacing honesty and intelligent insight." (Paul Little). .
