In June 1980, when he was thirty-two and had just caught what was then the largest British carp, Chris Yates wondered if his obsession had been cured.

Chris Yates, one of Britain's most insightful and lyrical writers, raises his gaze from his beloved rivers and ponds and takes us on a mesmerizing tour of the British countryside.

Through twenty-two casts the author, one of the Britain's best-known freshwater fisherman, quits land in favour of the sea. There, he discovers the many pleasures of the coast: wild shores, unpredictable waves, and, of course, fish that glisten and dart beneath a never-still surface. This title focuses on the sea and its many wonders.

Celebrating the joys of fishing, this work is about contentment, calm and solitude, rivers and river banks, losing track of time and, of course, the fish themselves. It is also an insight into a life spent getting up at the crack of dawn and, armed with rod and line, and heading for water.
