Best Yates Book

[Gaz51]

Which, in your opinion is the best Chris Yates book?

[Chris Plumb]

The Deepening Pool!!!!! - Seriously - my favourite CY followed closely by The Secret Carp. I also hugely enjoyed Four Seasons - so much so that I took it with me for the trip to Redmire last July.

 

Think we need some more options to vote on!!!

not read a single one, though i did read an extract from 'casting at the sun' last night that made me want to read more

 

it's very rare that angling writing interests me, john geirach being a notable exception, but i was very taken by yates's style

Out of the three books offered I'll say Casting at the Sun, but like Chris I prefer The Deepening Pool.

So would I Chris, however, the above 3 books are the ones available to me at present. I quite like the idea of a book containing short stories. Apparently Falling in Again fits the bill there. Not sure if the other 2 are short story books or one continuous tale ?

The deeping pole is the winner fot my , but i like the rest also

would agree with most casting at the sun out of the three but the deepening pool is my fav. Chris Yates is in my opinion one if not the best angling writer out there.

Casting at the Sun is autobiographical. Falling in Again is a series of short stories. Secret Carp is basically the story of a day spent on a secret carp lake.

 

I've reviwed all these books at various times

 

Falling in Again (along with Deepening Pool) can be found here...

I am not sure that Chris is the 'great' angling writer that many appear to suggest. I picked up 'Falling In Again' from a charity shop, presumably the previous owner was unimpressed and so was I. The book version of Passion is enjoyable, I wouldn't part with it, but, on balance, not sure that Chris is much better than John Bailey!!
