On Fishing

'Clarke's non-judgmental approach is a delight. Fishing needs more of this' Financial Times Magazine '(Clarke) is a consummate wordsmith, crafting words with succinct, lucid sentences to set the scene for action or discussion ... essential reading for anyone who's interested in our vital aquatic environment.' BBC Country File '... this collection of articles and essays on piscatorial pleasures shows why it is more than just anglers who are drawn to the contemplative flow of his near-perfect pastoral prose.' Scottish Field More praise for Brian Clarke: The Stream (2000) - an environmental novel: 'Devastatingly effective ... ought to be required reading.' The Times 'Magically wrought ... a parable for our times.' The Sunday Times 'The most significant book of its kind I have read since Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.' David Arnold Forster, Chief Executive, English Nature Trout etcetera (1996): 'Instant classic, I'd say ... Marvellously well-written. Enviably written.' Ted Hughes
