A journal in which those who pursue the noblest fish trout & salmon may record each outing for it was a wise man who remarked that as much fishing is enjoyed in fireside recollection as on the river bank. It is important to keep a journal of days spent fishing as all great fishermen have done in the past for it is said that days spent with a rod in hand would be counted as credits on the day of judgement. The layout of the record book will enable the user to record not only the weight & type of fish that make up the catch but also all those other important details which contribute so much to a good day's sport. Which flies were used & who tied them the conditions on the river was the water high or low was the weather cold or warm what did your companions achieve & what wildlife was seen -- a swallow kissing the water or an otter working his way up stream? Clear memories of good sport will be revived by these thoughts in the years ahead & maybe settle an argument or two about just how much that prize fish really did weigh! ...

From the late 19th century when the Raj was at its height many of Britain's best & brightest young men went out to India to work as administrators soldiers & businessmen. With the advent of steam travel & the opening of the Suez Canal countless young women suffering at the lack of eligible men in Britain followed in their wake. This amorphous band was composed of daughters returning after their English education girls invited to stay with married sisters or friends & yet others whose declared or undeclared goal was simply to find a husb&. They were known as the Fishing Fleet & this book is their story hitherto untold. For these young women often away from home for the first time one thing they could be sure of was a rollicking good time. By the early twentieth century a hectic social scene was in place with dances parties amateur theatricals picnics tennis tournaments cinemas gymkhanas with perhaps a tiger shoot & a glittering dinner at a raja's palace thrown in. & with men outnumbering women by roughly four to one romances were conducted at alarming speed & marriages were frequent. But after the honeymoon life often changed dramatically: whisked off to a remote outpost with few other Europeans for company & where constant vigilance was required to guard against disease they found it a far cry from the social whirlwind of their first arrival. Anne de Courcy's sparkling narrative is enriched by a wealth of first-hand sources
- unpublished memoirs letters & diaries rescued from attics
- which bring this forgotten era vividly to life.
