Chris couldn't write a bad book if he tried.

I've got a copy and have yet to get stuck into it. I did have a flick through when it arrived and as expected the artwork is superb.

Had the privilege of fishing with him yesterday for crucians. Very intelligent angler and thoroughly a lovely bloke :-)

Re: Reflections Chris Turnbull
The thing I like about his writing in particular is that he doesn't seem a slave to any particular method ... if one method isn't working he seems quick to recognise this and switch to a more effective method or if he deems the swim itself is the problem he has no problem in moving swim ... as Jason said its angling intelligence and also , what I'm guilty of , laziness does not seem to come into his approach

Yep,he was at a Norwich meeting last year with Jason Davies, seemed a decent guy,hope you had a good day with him,only thing slightly sad about the book I it emphasizes the dramatic decline in our local waters

Re: Reflections Chris Turnbull
the only chapter that didnt appeal to me was about gillams resort. Just not my cup of tea, find that kind of angling a little false. Almost big game hunting in a zoo. However the paintaing of the arapima and redtailed catfish are beautiful

Si if you want to read about chris 3lb roach theres a chapter he penned in the osprey specimen group book about this capture. This is also a cracking read covering most big coarse fish. It was written as a tribute to the groups record officer simon king who lost a battle with cancer. There are some superb chapters in it with paintings from chris. Well worth getting

Re: Reflections Chris Turnbull
If you like art work gent's and no particular genre of fishing. The late John Searl's book "A Brush With The Avon" is a must. One of my all time favourites, but I agree also that Reflections is spot on as well.
If you wanna go fishing go fishing.- John Gierach
