## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Another one to get you hooked.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2021*

If you are familiar with other books by Chris Yates or have enjoyed his passionate descriptions in ‘A Passion for Angling’, then this is definitely a book for your collection.  If you are a match pole angler or a fisherman who relies on alarms, bait boats and fish finders, then this is almost certainly not for you.The poetic descriptions are of the natural habitat and observations of, not just catching, but more about just being there, submersed in the natural world.  The use of senses to describe the search for the perfect pond is one which builds suspense and takes me back to my fishing experience.  And I hope it does the same for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great stuff from one of the most lyrical of angling scribes.
  

*by F***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 12, 2019*

Beautifully written by one of the most lyrical of angling scribes. Gentle, self deprecating humour with a few acerbic digs at the modern carp scene. It was originally penned a good few years ago so what Mr Yates would say about the mad world of 2019 is beyond me. If you love the sport and great writing you'll enjoy the book enormously. If you want technobabble about rigs and bait you won't find it here.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Perfect in every way
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 29, 2016*

One of my favourite angling writers, I thought I had read all of Chris's books, but obviously missed this one.  I have fished for over 40 years and  this book, with its gently humorous, understated style, sums up everything that really matters about angling. Where Chris Yates betters every other writer is conveying the concept of mystery and how central it is to fishing, whether it be in the local pond or the untouched carp lakes featured in this book. Through fishing we have the chance of connecting and perhaps having a glimpse of what lies beneath.The Secret Carp is full of beautiful descriptions of the natural, timeless rhythms of nature combined with the roller coaster emotions of fishing - the child-like excitement and anticipation on approaching the water, breath held,fingers trembling before casting, the sense of being enfolded in nature, in a dream-world as time passes with apparently nothing happening...then the sudden electric jolt to the senses as the line flickers, tightens and slices through the water, followed by the heart-thumping fight and the sense of calm when the fish has been landed - all so reflective of my own life-long experiences.
