Old Father Thames

Peter Stone

This is the story of a lifetime spent fishing the Thames. Much loved Thames angler Peter Stone recalls his many adventures on this most historic river: the time he went with his father to night-line for eels in the 1930s; watching brown trout chasing minnows; his first sight of wild otters; chub fishing on the dry fly; and an amusing account of pike fishing in C.S. Lewis' garden! The book is superbly illustrated by John Searle.

'Not every angler is fortunate enough to actually go fishing with a grand master, but this excellent book has got to be the next best way to learn.' - Peter Drennan.

'. . . a fascinating delve into the past, from his early days as a lad catching pike for the table, through his match fishing era, to becoming one of the most respected specimen hunters in the sport.' - The Daily Mail
