BARBEL RIVER

BARBEL RIVER This new book by environmentalist & aquatic biologist Mark Everard provides a slightly different approach to the study of a fish species - its an approach that only someone from his biological background could successfully pull off, & he has. The seasons turning during a full year is experienced through the eyes of a lone angler & Barbara, the matriarch of the barbel shoal, who has grown large & wary throughout her two decades of life in the flowing waters of the chalk river. This book is a celebration of the riverside & its mosaic of life, of the barbel & the way their behavior adapts to both natural conditions & human intervention. Written by a man with decades of angling experience & a profound love of rivers, this book will be one that all barbel anglers will enjoy & learn from. ISBN: 1-899600-91-4 publish date: 05/31/2010
