Hi All, I have just finished reading the above mentioned and just wondered if anyone else has and what they thought of it. I started reading it again as soon
as I had finished it - I thought it absolutely amazing and would recommend it to anyone, I smiled so many times while reading it and it really does take you
away to the most timeless relaxing times and why you first went fishing and the real reasons we should continue to fish - absolute magic and essential reading
for all anglers and many non anglers, Chris Yates is the most fantastic writer :-) would be interested in other views and recommendations of other great
reads... Pocket :-)

Uh! I was rather disappointed with it if I'm honest. Yates has covered this ground so much better in some of his other books - in fact ALL his other books.
See Deepening Pool, The Secret Carp, Casting at the Sun, Four Seasons, even Falling in Again. I my opinion How to Fish doesn't stack up against any of
these! I agree Chris Yates IS a fantastic writer - I'm a big fan - its just How to Fish wasn't up to his usual standards....

Yes I am a great fan of Yates being of the same age and fishing in a similar way. I thoroughly enjoyed 'How to Fish' as I have all his other books and
writings. I would not say that it was better or worse just different.
I am going to continue with a re-read now. It is indeed special. regards Hugo

I really enjoyed it. I've read Casting At.... , Deepening Pool, and Secret Carp.
I've read it twice now. Personally, I think it's a bit special. |

I am a huge fan of Mr Yates. I'm re reading "Casting at the sun" at the moment. He is a one off, how he has managed to avoid modern life is an
inspiration to us all. For me "Falling in again" is my least favourite, and "The Secret Carp" probably favourite. All of them have a sort
of magic for me. Phil
