Synopsis

The original 'A Piker's Progress' was Published in 1991 and told the story of one man's piking obsession. It became a classic piece of angling literature.

In this book the author, John Watson, reproduces the original book in a fresh, colourful style, and adds a further six chapters. It is rare to find a copy of the original book for sale, so this updated version containing lots of new colour pictures is an opportunity for all pike anglers to get hold of a future collectors item.
