There is the solitary sportsman casting in a trout river, the adventurer looking for sport on the ocean and a group of young boys with bamboo poles and hopes of landing the big one. The scenery is as varied as the catch and the stories capture an angler's passion for the sport, as well as its humour, romance and friendship.
It is not only stories of the one that got away that make for great fishing tales, and you will find the best fishing stories in this collection.
