Home » Sales Specials Parsons' Pleasures Parsons' Pleasures By John Parsons Published 2000 Paperback, 202 pages Size: 150mm x 210mm weight: 423gms  Description: John Parsons' latest book reflects the wide-ranging appeal of trout-fishing and diverse fishing pleasures of its author. Everything about trout commands John Parsons respectful attention. Here, among dozens of essays and vignettes, he probes the Zane Grey legend, tests unlikely lures, explores the founding of Taupo's rainbow fishery, spends a nostalgic few days in England along rivers he knew intimately 50 years ago, talks of fishing books and fishing people, examines trout flies and attacks shags, developers and anglers apathy. Those are just a few of the many matters he takes us to. Apart from the occasional lapse, Parsons' Pleasure is a how-to-do-it and where-to-go book, although it could be said that here and there a useful tip or two is present for the taking. About the Author: John Parsons has been going fishing for more than 60 years. But he has always remained an apprentice and will never become master. He is expert in enjoying fishing though, and has written about the enjoyment since his teenage years in England. This is his tenth book.
