AFRICAN ANGLER BY CHARLES NORMAN

AFRICAN ANGLER BY CHARLES NORMAN. HARD COVER, 162 PAGES, FIRST EDITION 1988, IN GOOD CONDITION.

Charles Norman is well known among anglers for his previous books, regular fishing columns and films. In this book he shares the highlights of 20 years of travelling the African continent with a fishing rod. And travel he has - from tunny fishing off the Cape coast to challenging giant Nile perch in the great lakes of East Africa; from being humiliated by wily Drakensberg trout to days of angling heaven with a fly rod in the Okavango; and from exploring a mysterious coral atoll south of Madagascar to enjoying the heyday of marlin in Mozambique. Fishing closer to home is not ignored, so bass, barbel, kurper and carp - the mainstays of the South African inland fishing scene - are all given their due. This is a very personal book, written from the heart of Charles's angling experiences. It conveys both a fisherman's pleasure and something of the essence of the people and places he has visited.
