Synopsis

Published in 1991, 'A Piker's Progress', the story of one man's piking obsession, has proved to be a classic piece of angling literature.

Dedicated, passionate and controversial; John uncovers the truth behind his battles, beliefs and angling practices.

As a stand out piece among pike angling books 'Progress' is one of the most sought after with copies rarely come onto the market.

John's story was updated in 2009 with the release of 'A Piker's Progression', boasting six new chapters and a fresh, colourful, design.

Copies of the updated 'A Piker's Progression' available from www.pikersprogression.co.uk
