- Summary:
- This is Laurence's unusual fishing autobiography and as expected he explains how he has tried to fish at different stages of his life. Elegantly interwoven around his lively views on the northern upstream tradition, catch-and-release, worming and other topics, he talks frankly about how, as a young man, his excessive drinking brought him to an important turning point in his fishing life. In the second part of the book, Laurence embarks on what he expects to be an idyllic time as he takes early retirement and looks forward to even more shooting and fishing - when a personal crisis plunges him into a nervous breakdown. Laurence's exploration of how fishing became even impossible to contemplate during his darkest days but how it went on to form an essential part of his eventual recovery, has never before been explored in angling literature and will strike a chord with many readers. This is a surprisingly funny, frank and moving memoir which pushes back the boundaries of eloquent fishing literature.
