Chris Yates is a photographer and an author, but first and foremost a fisherman. He was first inspired by the discovery of a monster carp in his village pond when he was five. Thirty years later, he caught what was then the biggest carp - and the biggest fish - in England and went on to write about his experiences in books, in his own magazine, in radio programmes and in the BBC2 series A Passion for Angling. He lives in south Wiltshire.
"""In his accessible and occasionally lyrical prose, Yates sums up a year on a river in chapter-long musings on a host of fishing and non-fishing topics, such the topography of a river, the weather, his youth, the bird-like beauty of a perch and the essentially British notion of the restorative powers of tea. The book is also filled with practical and tactical advice about how best to land a whale of a perch. Because of Yates's intelligent observations and his pure dedication to his sport (it is his belief that man was born to fish), this book will be of interest to anglers on both sides of the Atlantic."" --Publishers Weekly ""Chris Yates is god. How To Fish is likely to be his magnum opus."" --Cond� Nast Traveller ""A book about time, about how to spend time and lose it and how to find some kind of peace at the end of it all. A wonderfully elegiac book that winds gently along with the quiet majesty of an old, old river."" --Big Issue ""Angling's finest living writer . . . His use of the English language in portraying angling is without peer . . . A masterpiece. If you want to know why you first went fishing, read this book."" --Angling Times"
