Reviewer: .


Well, Kung Fu Carp Fishing certainly caught this reader. Delightfully tongue in cheek and laugh out loud funny in places, this is a not too serious guide to fly fishing for carp, based on the book of five rings. It had me in stitches. From the moment he mentions standing in a lake holding a metal rod and not noticing there was a thunderstorm going on I was hooked.

It includes instruction lists for equipment and perhaps enough technique advice to start people fishing. However it also includes instructions for Kung-fu techniques to use on people who laugh at you for fly-fishing for carp, so how serious this guidance is, I'm not sure and I don't care. It also includes information for catch and release techniques and making sure the fish recovers.

An absolutely hilarious guide to fishing, perhaps useful for fishermen, definitely entertaining to everyone. I fully recommend this. Now I'm going to read it again.
