"Mr Crabtree Goes Fishing - a timeless classic among fishing books - has sold over two million copies since its first publication in 1949. It describes the adventures of the ultimate fisher-father, Mr Crabtree, and his son Peter. Together, they set out on a series of angling expeditions in pursuit of the freshwater fish of river and lake. They start with mid-winter trips for roach and chub; have some thrilling battles with ferocious pike; try out the different skills of dry fly fishing for trout and dace; and feel the excitement of trotting for barbel and float fishing for perch and rudd. Most of the principal coarse and game species are described, as are the tackle and techniques for catching them. This is the perfect introductory guide for aspiring freshwater anglers."
