Reviews for A Train to Catch:
'Whether he’s writing about the
tempting trout streams of the Peak District with old friends, shark fishing with gnarly boat captains or serenading loch trout
with highland reels, the author manages to paint a picture of his adventures which are seductive in the extreme. I defy any
reader not to be afflicted with wanderlust at least once during the journey' - Nick Small, www.caughtbytheriver.net
'...one of the most pleasing and original books
about fishing that I have read in a long time...A Train to Catch is potentially the angling book of the year and
I would be disappointed if it doesn't pick up some kind of award, because it is engrossing, original and they truly do
not come up with this kind of stuff more than once in a blue moon. - Andrew Herd, Fishing Book Reviews
'an
enjoyable jaunt with one of our favourite - and most literate - all-round angling authors' - Paul Morgan, Coch-y Bonddu

'Jon Berry's A Train to
Catch is the best kind of fishing book. Part history and part odyssey, interleaved with evocative illustrations and
illuminated by the author's spare, self-deprecating prose, this elegy to the golden age of British Angling will resonate
long after journey's end' - Luke Jennings, author of Blood Knots
Reviews for Beneath the Black Water:
'Rarely has an angling
soul been bared like this. Captivating, enchanting, charming - there really are not enough superlatives to describe this angling
masterpiece' - Andy Nicholson, www.anglingnews.net
‘Beneath
the Black Water is the wonderful
account of a mad, disrupting, unforgiving but ultimately joyous addiction – an addiction not just to the ferox, but
to the truly wild waterscapes they inhabit. No fellow angler could be unimpressed; no ordinary human will quite believe it.’
Chris Yates, writer and eccentric angler
‘This quest for a sense of belonging
comes with dreams of great fishes. Berry has written a beautiful, haunted poem of friendship and obsession.’ Jeff Barrett, Caught by the River
***** Understated, brilliant - Amazon
