It’s the Des Taylor guide to fishing Midland waters, and includes rivers, canals, and other stillwaters.Des says, “I have written a no-nonsense book at a reasonable price for all to afford for those that either live in the area or fancy travelling to the area for a day or even a week’s fishing.

“I have not written the book for experts, nor have I written it for die-hard specimen hunters. I have written the book for the pleasure angler who is perhaps struggling to catch a few fish or struggling for a venue that would suit him or her.

“Remember, not everyone can be a world-beater and so make the most of your time at the water.

“Fishing owes you nothing. It’s just there to be enjoyed.”

In the book Des doesn’t just tell you the basic facts about the fishery, ie, where it is and what the rules are and the species in it, he also offers advice about the best way to fish the water and includes diagrams of pegs and rigs, etc.

It’s a good book and well worth the asking price of £ 6.95. I checked out the waters I know in the book and what Des said about them is spot-on.

As you would expect, there are slight differences in how we would tackle various waters but the basic information is sound. The coverage of the rivers Teme and Severn is excellent.

If you fish the Midlands you would be wise to part with your seven quid for this limited edition book that can put you wise to the waters you already know and onto many new waters to have a go at.
