Another Fishing Year (leather Bound) By John Wilson - Description
This is the limited edition, leather bound version. Only 500 are being published, and each is individually numbered and signed by John Wilson.
Another Fishing Year is Wilson's diary for 2005, and he begins on a sunny, but bitterly cold January 2.
Immediately, his detailed description of the surroundings and nostalgic anecdotes place you right alongside him in the boat. In addition, his precise technical narrative gives you all the elements you need to understand how he secures a nicely marked and proportioned pike of around 19lbs.
One week later he's off to Brazil and fast into huge, tropical fresh water species. This continues throughout the book with extra adventures to Spain, Zambia and Egypt, plus sharks and bass from both home and abroad.
The end of August sees Wilson enjoying a hot and humid day with somebody lucky enough to have won a days fishing with him. Two 10mm halibut pellets on a hair-rigged size 10 hook in conjunction with regular helpings of 6mm pellet loose feed, soon has the carp biting.
In November he battles with a monstrous 130 lbs arapaima amongst a plethora of heavyweight adversaries in Thailand. And on the December 19, Wilson returns to the lake he fished on January 2 and lands an 18lb pike, his last catch of 2005.
Written in Wilson's usual chatty and informative style, another fishing year is a book that no self-respecting angler will want to let get away.
