A Wellie Full of Water
Chris Sandford
Chris Sandford has fished since he was a boy, originally for chub and perch on the river Mole in Surrey, but in recent years has fished around the world for anything that swims. A Wellie Full of Water is an entertaining collection of tales from his angling adventures. There’s pike in the Trossachs, lake trout in the Yukon and massive carp from the Massif Central.There’s shaggy fish stories and from the bizarre world of vintage tackle collecting there’s the Totally Tasteless Teapot, the cross-dressing fishing reel and some beautiful backsides. And if that wasn’t enough he’s ‘moused’ for leopards, baited-up from a water-bike and suffers the indignity of a wife that always catches bigger fish than he does.
Chris has been twice awarded Humorous Writer of the Year for his articles in Waterlog magazine, on which this book is based.
'A really mixed bag of fishing, travel, tackle and tall tales from the pen of Chris Sandford, presenter of the TV series Just Fishing, who just also happens to be the foremost authority on vintage fishing tackle in the UK . . . lavishly illustrated . . . You won't be able to put it down' - John Wilson, Sunday Express
