\"My halieutic stammerings were therefore particularly naive and clumsy, although I can't recall them without nostalgia and tenderness.
Of course I didn't catch much, but back then a stickleback or a goby made my heart beat faster and stronger
than today a twenty-kilogram king salmon.
Other times, other challenges.
So my first catches date back to the days of short pants, well before the age of fifteen,
the age at which I began religiously noting in a notebook the data relating to my fishing trips:
date, location and weather conditions, number and size of species caught, and above all the account of the incidents, anecdotal or tragic-comic, that sometimes peppered them. These accounts form the raw material of the present work (...).\"
When occupied with our passions, time is never totally lost, but is indelibly etched in our minds.
This is, in its own way, what Y. Mahieu with the writing of this book.
From his old notebooks he looks back, with acuity and precision, on his first twenty years of fishing.
Emotions, images, details, atmosphere, words exchanged: everything comes back absolutely vividly to the author's memory.
At the same time, he captures the compelling nature of our passions: they drive us ever further, ever harder, in their realization.
