RESERVOIR FLY FISHING BOOKS

A BIBLICAL DEFENCE OF THE SPORT OF ANGLING

What the Bible says about Fishing

Adrian V W Freer

This volume has been written in response to the unfounded and unwarranted attacks upon angling by those determined factions who are opposed to our gentle and contemplative pastime. Contrary to their misguided thinking, as this book will make evident, fishing is a perfectly acceptable, lawful and honourable occupation.

It is the intention that this discourse will assist those who need a little scriptural guidance as they seek to respond to our ill-informed critics in a good-natured, logical and balanced manner.

It is the author’s sincere prayer that our sport will continue to give pleasure, satisfaction and tranquillity to its many devotees, both in the perilous times that we live in and in the generations to come.
