Some angling writers in the past have considered tench to be capricious,but in this book methods and techniques are described which dispel any such notion. With the right approach tench,and big ones too,can be caught regularly by anyone who is prepared to put in the necessary time and effort.Suitable big tench waters are described,and where in these waters the tench are likely to be found.Baits are discussed,and recipes given for successful 'boilies' and other 'specials'. The author also explains the important matter of bite detection best suited to various conditions,and there are exciting stories of large catches of big tench and, more importantly,why these successes were achieved.The author is a well known and respected angling writer and photographer, whose approach to angling has been influenced by five men: through Dick Walker's and Fred J.Taylor's writings, and by the friendship and guidance of Bob Buteux,Kevin Clifford and Bill Quinlan both on and off the bank. These influences have helped him achieve an enviable list of big fish,including one 9lb tench and eight over 8lb.The book is illustrated with photographs and explanatory drawings and diagrams. Anyone interested in big fish in general, or big tench in particular,cannot help but find helpful advice within these pages. Publisher ceased trading mid 1980's,so this edn is now out of print.
