Fishing's Strangest Days Book

Fishing's Strangest Days is the latest offering from Robson Books' hugely successful Strangest...series. Fishing is an extremely popular sport in Britain and throughout the world and gathered here are the choicest gems of bizarre fishing facts. Consider the Oxford scientist who in 1910 discovered the marvellous life-giving properties of brandy to fish who had otherwise gasped their last. Or how about the nine-year-old boy fishing for trout who caught a large mussel - containing no less than forty pearls - and managed to earn more in one day than his father a farm worker had earned in the last five years. Then there's the case of the two Americans who had an argument about whether it would be possible to cast a fly from the roof of The Savoy hotel into the Thames. The dispute was finally settled when one of them secured himself to a chimney and with the help of a policeman who stopped traffic on the Embankment finally achieved the feat. Fishing's Strangest Days is full of amusing colourful fishing tales.Read More
