Author Description

Ivan Marks the finest match angler of his generation claiming more big wins during the 1970's and 1980's than any other angler. When he died in December 2004 the angling world lost not just a great angler but also one of the sport's great characters. This is a compilation of Ivan's best stories that cover his big match wins, what it was like to fish for England, the success of the Leicester Likely Lads and how he plundered Ireland and Denmark during the glory years. There are also chapters on the tackle, bait and tactics he used to become the most famous angler in the country.
