I've read it, but if you have bought it I'll leave it for you to read rather than tell you whodunit

I read it and found it pretty enjoyable until i realised it was fiction. Initially i actually believed that this might be factual

Ah its not a bad read...

I actually thought it was quite a good read - certainly different to what you expect from the title

Got twenty pages in and jacked it. But I know loads of people who enjoyed it.

I read it on holiday last year and really liked it. I think the author obviously luvs his fishing and this shines through. Can only be a good thing in a book that has sold so many copies to non anglers.

I enjoyed it but don't want to say more in case it spoils it for you. If you like deadpan you are in for a treat.

As much about politics as fishing but you will probably know more about Salmon by the time you finish it than you did at the start.
