This wonderful book contains lakes and fish that have never been in print before. Based largely along the M3 and M4 corridors, ‘Carefree’ tells Dan’s angling story from the early beginnings, learning the ropes with his Grandad, right through to more recent European Adventures. Although Dan is relatively young, he very much has an old school approach to his angling, focusing on beautiful, hand selected targets rather than chasing pounds and ounces. Lakes featured include Bottle, Shalford and Staghead lakes on the Wasing Complex, Swan Valley, California Country Park, Kentford, Rowneys, Burghfield, Black Swan and Wraysbury Two. With an additional 5 guest chapters from his angling friends, ‘Carefree’ is a ‘must have’ on any bookshelf worth its salt.

Stuart’s second book, Hiding in the Long Grass, starts when he is invited to join the historic Savay Syndicate. Covering his time fishing on the ‘Toad Rota,’ Stuart takes us through his adventures fishing on this famous lake, including a capture of what was (at the time) Savay’s third largest carp ever landed. If stories of adventure and the unknown are your thing, Stuart also takes us on his epic account on Chimneys, a 120 acre lake in Bedfordshire. With myths, legends and some monstrous uncaught fish hiding within its deep, clear water, this is UK fishing at it’s most adventurous! A tough and gritty campaign that is sure to inspire! In-between all of this, there is also tales of Stuart’s barbel fishing on the River Trent. Read how Stuart went about targeting the bigger barbel, on stretches of river where he saw very few people and all photos were done by self-takes. Order now and strap yourself in for the ride!
