In June 1980, when he was thirty-two and had just caught what was then the largest British carp, Chris Yates wondered if his obsession had been cured. Having landed a fifty-pounder, could he now dream of capturing Redmire's real monster, the King? Far from the monster itself, it was the idea of such a leviathan that hooked Chris Yates in the summer of 1981, playing him along the banks for one final season before releasing him back out into the world. Rediscovered after being lost for more than two decades, this diary — complete with original illustrations — recounts the final reckoning of an angler's long relationship with a beloved and mysterious pool.

Impressions

    An intriguing insight into the angling adventures of Chris Yates during a short period in the early 1980's. The book subtly potters along meandering through various locations with a variety of people, all bound together by the quest for big carp.
    It's a short read and won't be everyone's cup of tea, but for some it's a great opportunity to slip away for a few hours...
