Fishing with Walker- Dick Walker

Thursday 27th October is my Birthday, I couldn't have received a better present, I will sit in my study today and read Fishing with Walker- Dick Walker. I can't imagine anything nicer, in between reading the book I will drink numerous cups of tea and cast my mind back over many years of being inspired by the great man. Truly inspirational. He stands alongside Sir Winston Churchill and David Stirling founder of the Long Range Desert Group later the SAS. I've been lucky to meet all three of these gentlemen. I say "Treat yourself to this book"



Fishing with Walker- Dick Walker

THERE’S a special treat in store for Dick Walker fans with the launch of a brand new book from the man who showed us we could catch big fish by design and not luck some call him a Maestro.

this new book Fishing With Walker contains articles from Fishing magazine and Angling Times – none of which have appeared in book form before.

There are sections on all the major species and how to catch them; tactics, hard-hitting and side-splitting comments on a wide range of topical issues and much, much more. Many of the supporting photographs have never previously been published.

Discover which fish was Dick’s favourite species, how he came face to face with a 7lb perch, when barbel bite best, and the myth of Redmire along with the mystery of the monsters of the Great Ouse.



As always there are some controversial comments such as the lack of angling on TV now remember this was before the 1990's when we had more angling on TV, Dick discusses the close season debate, ground baiting and shotting patterns.



Joining him on the bank side are his closest fishing pals, Pete Thomas, Fred J Taylor, his brother Ken and their cousin, Joe. a lot of readers thought that Fred Joe and Ken were brothers

No angler, whether he fishes purely for relaxation, or looks upon the sport as an exciting challenge, can fail to find a treasure trove of information and entertainment between the covers of Fishing With Walker. The great man has given us so much and next year September 13th is the 60th anniversary of Dick capturing the 44lb carp that shook the angling world. At The Water's Edge will be having a special programme on this day including Dick telling us the story of the capture of this memorable fish
