The Mighty Trent: A love letter to Britain’s greatest coarse fishing river
Like many anglers I’ve long been an admirer of Doncaster all-rounder Bob Roberts whose no nonsense writing is a breath of fresh air amongst the acres of dross that sometimes passes for angling journalism.
Bob is a passionate advocate for the Trent and I was delighted when he asked me to review his latest book. The Mighty Trent is both a love letter to one man’s favourite river and a fascinating insight into how Britain’s third longest river bounced back to become the premier venue for coarse fishing in running water.
