About this title

Synopsis

Richard Walker was one of the most influential anglers in the history of the sport. His biography, long overdue at the time of publication in 2007, took the research and writing skills of Barrie Rickards to bring it to fruition. The book gives a remarkable overview of Dick's angling achievements and an in-depth analysis of the person and angler that he was. It also includes a substantial personal perspective from Dick's widow Pat, giving an insight into him as a family man, and tributes from some of today's best-known anglers. Whether or not there is ever a successor to Dick in the angling world, this book records for posterity the extraordinary contribution made by this one man in the twentieth century. His is a hard act to follow . . . Winner of two Book of the Year Angling Times and Angler's Mail. 'The definitive book . . . on the greatest fisherman that ever lived.' - Chris Tarrant 'This biography is quite honestly one of the best fishing reads of the past 100 years . . .'; - FishingMagic.com Fully illustrated throughout with monochrome photographs and line drawings.
