____________________

Still, I believe, the only British book dedicated solely to the fine art of float-making. Now quite scarce and highly sought-after.

"Bill Watson is a master of the craft of making floats and in this book he introduces the pleasure angler to the skills and satisfactions of floatmaking. The book is very well illustrated with photographs and line drawings, and provides just the right combination of practical advice, encouragement and humour for the angler who wants to design and make his own floats." (Publisher's blurb).

Contents include:- Foreword by Richard Walker; Author's note; Introduction; Materials; Tools; Float construction; Painting and varnishing; Shotting; Float patterns; Conclusion; Index.

First published in 1978 and issued simultaneously in both hardback and paperback formats. The book was never reprinted and both formats have become quite hard to find.
