The Compleat Tangler

Norman Thelwell
3.93/5 (38 ratings)
Why do more men go fishing every weekend in Britain than go to football matches or any other sport? What do they really get up to when they abandon a warm bed before the crack of dawn, stuff a haversack with tins of assorted maggots, half a hundredweight of pulped bread and a folding campstool, and disappear into the drizzle?

It is estimated that well over one and a half million wives wish they knew the answer. It was clearly time that some sort of enquiry was made into the strange rituals of the cult, and its secrets exposed to the public gaze. After years of crawling through wet grass and conducting lonely vigils in distant torrents, Thelwell has at last presented his report.

Thelwell lives in a cottage on the River Test in Hampshire where he owns a piece of that famous trout river. The main advantage of having the water so near is that he can get a fly line wrapped around his neck when no one else is there to fall about laughing. Being quite unable to impress his fellow anglers by catching fish, he decided to produce a book on the subject as the next best thing.

The popularity of this book is a great consolation when he is cutting a Green Drake of a Wickham's Fancy out of the leg of his trousers,
