This fishing book tells the story of one mans obsession with the Hampshire Avon and the Dorset Stour which wind their way to the sea where they meet at Christchurch Harbour.

Different in character and mood, both wessex rivers can provide fantastic fishing for some of the largest specimen barbel, carp, chub, dace, perch, pike and roach swimming in UK waters.

Since concentrating his efforts on these two venues Kevin Grozier has recorded a list of specimen fish which few could match. However, Kevin gets so much more from fishing and the stories in this book, from the early seventies to the present day, show this to the full.

Kevin attaches huge importance on the value of friendships in fishing. The tales in this book would certainly seem to underline his belief that fishing is a great hobby made incomparable when it is shared with a friend or two.

 

“ As a chronicle of specimen hunting on the Avon and Stour in the late 20th century and early 21st century, I don’t think this book has an equal.

The supporting text, by some of the areas finest anglers of their time, contributes to what is a superb read ”
