Part angling history, part practical guide, this book covers the whole range of techniques and tackle available to the modern angler. From rods, reels, hooks and lines to the latest developments in feeders, bite detectors and rod supports, from the changing fashions in bait and the skills of groundbaiting, to the pleasures of fishing at night, this manual looks at every aspect of legering theory and practice. The book discusses the techniques best suited to particular conditions, the different approaches to fishing in each season and the best ways to catch a specific species of fish.
