Great Angling Disasters

A unique collection of fishing stories from the past 200 years that prove that when it comes to fishing, things can and often do go hilariously wrong.

From stories of record breakers that got away to boats that sank, rods that broke and pike and salmon that ran amoke, Great Angling Disasters is the ultimate chronicle of those less than triumphant days on the riverbank.

For everyone interested in fishing with rod and line whether they are game, coarse or sea fishermen.
