This first edition is limited to only 400 copies, each signed and numbered by Tom O'Reilly. "This is a book about Tony's lifetime love affair with chasing big fish from intimate little rivers and streams. Since his first chub in 1959 from the tiny Warks Leam, small stream specimen hunting has been Tony's favourite. In the 54 years since, some remarkable specimens have come his way, notably giant barbel, chub and perch from the upper Ouse. Tony explains his methods of tracking down elusive specimens of most species in the readable and entertaining style that has become his trademark, and in the many photographs of huge fish you will see the potential rewards for following his advice." This is the first full-colour book to be published by Little Egret Press with over 130 of the author's photographs. The publisher sold out almost immediately upon publication.
