"This witty account is James' tale of his obsession with the sport of fishing, wherever his work took him around the world, seeking out a range of fish, including tilapia in the Sudan and Botswana, lemonsharks and tarpon in the Gambia, striped bass in New York, chinook salmon in British Columbia, bass and trout in the UK and Ireland. James' genre of writing is a mixture of John Gierach and Bill Bryson: his style is wry, amusing, and incisive."
