Having read Adrian Smith’s fascinating book Monsters of Rock and Rivers, I was bowled over to find his lifelong passion for angling ran side by side with my enjoyment of the sport. Can I say at the outset I’m not into rock music, more so The Beatles, Roy Orbison, etc. His dad Fred, took him fishing to the local Grand Union Canal as soon as he could hold a rod. The book is a must read for all rock fans and angling enthusiasts. Back home in Ireland, I initially took to sea fishing and now I enjoy fly fishing for trout and salmon.
