A joyful drift through an angling life. Poignant meanders with plenty of hooks to snare any angler looking for literary immersion. Kevin Parr, author of The Quiet Moon: Pathways to an Ancient Way of Being and Rivers Run: An Anglers Journey From Source to Sea
Tony Bailey has been obsessed with fish his whole life (or, at least, what he can remember of it). As he reached his preteen years, this turned into a love for angling, which has stayed with him throughout his life and ensured he would spend the next seventy-odd years gladly indulging in his passion. In Silver Streams and Muddy Dreams, he looks back over a life spent fishing and considers what lights the spark that turns a human being into an angler circumstance, social contact or genetics?
Packed with memories and peppered with useful tips and observations, Tony explores the full gamut of angling possibilities, from the wildest stream to the most enigmatic of farm ponds, each tied to their histories and legends and each capable of providing the thrill of a lifetime or the peace and tranquillity to connect with nature and soothe the mind.
