"This is a book about Tony's half century of fishing the middle to upper reaches of his beloved Great Ouse, since he first set foot on its banks in 1957. Contained within these pages are the highlights of that part of Tony's angling life spent searching for the specimen fish of one of the best rivers in the land. ...Here are the accounts of countless battles with giant chub, encounters with elusive roach and monster perch and the almost religious zeal in pursuit of the now legendary barbel of Adams Mill and Kickles Farm. In more recent years, Tony takes us with him also in his searches for big carp and tench."
