"The Secret Carp is a fishing book with a difference. As The
Independent comments, it is one of the few books that manages to
capture the real joy of fishing in such a way that even a
non-angler could be seduced. It tells the true story of the events
of a single day and night beside an English carp lake in high
summer.When he stumbled upon a long-neglected, overgrown lake
holding some monster carp, Chris Yates knew that he had discovered
the kind of place about which every carp angler dreams. He set
about trying to catch the huge, elusive inhabitants with rod and
line. It was a quest that was to reveal many insights into the
secretive behaviour of this king of freshwater fish and bring him
thrillingly into contact with his quarry.Waiting, watching and
stalking, quite undeterred by the damp sleeping bag and the cold.
Yates' enthralling story whispers adventure and promise. And it is
punctuated by moments of great drama as monster fish disturb the
tranquil world of the angler.Fishermen of all persuasions will
enjoy this masterful angling chronicle."
