Mark Walsingham is a dedicated fisherman and long-time angling companion of Chris Yates, who has contributed the foreword to this book. "He is just as much at home trying to outwit an Avon barbel, or large river pike, as he is in search of the carp of a lifetime, and he's pretty successful at all of those. .He is probably best known for his 'Ashmead Diaries' series in Carpworld, but this is far from just an extension of that. With his extensive work as a marine biologist, and his subsequent position as senior conservation manager with the National Trust, he has a wealth of stories to tell, and his love of flyfishing and old cane rods means that it's not just carp that sink his float, there are roach, perch, barbel, tench, salmon, trout; the list is endless. From wild carp in secluded southern pools to wild trout in remote Scottish lochs. From cold, lonely nights spent flyfishing for elusive sea-trout, to balmy summer days trying to entice mysterious monstrous carp into taking a carefully placed floater."
