Thoughts on them?

River Gold is a great read.

 

[Steven Hodges]

Read them all and every one is an excellent read.

Is the Mick Wood one more based on Yorkshire/ northern rivers?

Not just northern rivers, Severn, Trent, Warwickshire Avon, etc

Barbel Under the Bridge and Where Amber Waters Flow are both excellent reads. One giving an insight into a period of barbel angling history by an angler who was there catching many memorable fish which may never happen again. The other a fishermans barbel journey on many rivers which I have now read twice so it must be good!
River Gold I wasn't to enamoured with as it it felt like, to me, just what it is, a series of articles some written better than others, whereas the other two books on the other hand are a proper story/journey.

Yes I had a feeling River Gold would be like that

However as someone who is an irregular barbel angler there should be a lot of good information in it shouldn't there?

Barbel Under The Bridge is sitting at my parents house waiting for me when I get there for Christmas. Really looking forward to that one.

It's a fine book and you can dip in and out of it, I just think the other two titles, for me, are a better read.

It’s a great book, much of it may be lost on those who don’t know the Ouse stretches written about but for those that do it’s a lovely reminisce
