Read it a few weeks ago. Far fetched but quite comical. Worth a read.

Hi Mike ,

Funnily enough did exactly the same as you , only last year ! I thought it was quite well written , especially the science bits !!! Nah , only kidding , bit far fetched , the tranfer of all those fish to the Yemen
BY AIR !! Yeah Right .  :shock The rest was entertaining enough as a wee holiday read but I was very disappointed by the ending .

Paul.

Hi folks :cool:

Yes, far fetched and obviously not to be taken seriously, but I found it quite entertaining to read and enjoyed the bit where "Colin the Ghillie" saved the day by casting his fly at the attacker :z4

Yes, I enjoyed it ............ but the end was rubbish, almost as if the author had run out of ideas and wanted to get it finished, which spoilt the whole book :z7

Don't rush out and buy it :z6

Best wishes
Mike

Never read it , it got a not bad review in T & S the other month. I'm sure I'll get round to reading it as there are not that many new fishing books being written.
