"As the favourite summer species of many big fish specialist anglers, tench offer some of the most interesting and challenging fishing available. In response to many environmental changes, tench have in recent years achieved enormous growth potential - and they are getting bigger all the time! Records are constantly being broken as more and more enormous specimens are landed from a widening range of waters.
Many anglers are making the most of these exciting new prospects, and are turning their attention to the frequently difficult waters that this tough, hard-fighting species prefers. If the angler has any chance of achieving regular success, he must study tench behaviour thoroughly, and master a practical knowledge of a wide variety of angling skills. New ideas, methods and approaches are constantly being developed to cope with the demands of each of these waters.
Chris Turnbull, along with a number of highly respected names in the world of tench-fishing, here takes a thorough look at traditional methods of catching tench, and goes on to examine the revolutionary advances in tackle and techniques that have led to some staggering catches in recent years. Illustrated thoroughout with excellent and informative line illustrations and photographs, this innovative book is a must for every coarse angler's bookshelf."
