Lawyers, bricklayers, bankers and double-glazing salespeople during the week, come the weekend they''re up to their wrists in worms, waiting, hoping, waiting some more, hoping again, losing hope, more waiting... But why? The Daredevil Book for Anglers has the answer. This is a surreal and funny expose of one of the nation''s most popular sports.
