For many years anglers have travelled the length and breadth of the country to fish the famous waterways that have become known as “The Fens”. Most have come in search of the plentiful pike population, always with the dream of landing an elusive Fenland monster. However, up until now relatively little has been written about this area, but in this new book two acclaimed experts of the area combine to share their knowledge of the area and its pike to produce what should become any Fenland pike fisherman’s bible.
The book includes chapters on the turbulent history of the Fens, how the drains came to be, and why they did, plus it gives a detailed history and ‘how to fish’, of each of the major waters in the Fens.
With 264 pages, lavishly illustrated with colour photographs, line drawings, cartoons and illustrations, plus a front cover painting by acclaimed angling artist Stephen Harper, this is a book that is not only a mine of information, but a visual feast to excite and inspire the pike angler, both now and into the future, and a book that you will come back to time and time again.
The 264 page hardback edition is available for £30 plus £5 to cover postage and packaging from www.fishing-direct.com (UK and NI only, please ring for details outside of this area), whilst there is a limited edition (50) leather-bound version available in deep wine leather, tipped with gold leaf at £195 plus £7.95 special delivery postage (to be released approx three weeks later).
