Memoirs; Fishing, angling
Laurence Catlow is considered one of the finest classical flyfishing writers of our times and here he explores the themes close to an angler's heart:
*

why catching two trout each time matters so much to him
*

the experience of fishing in contrast to a day's shooting
*

the melancholy appeal of autumn fishing
*

the difference between holiday fishing and home fishing
*

the secrets of a flytyer
*

starting the season on the river
*

big trout or little trout: why he prefers the latter
*

why fishing is a lifelong joy
*

fishing the mayfly

'The best flyfishing book to cross my desk this year, without a doubt. Catlow's writing is easily accessible, simple English fused into passages that flow like a chalkstream glide, littered with lines that sit in the memory long after their page has turned.' - Trout Fisherman, Jeffrey Prest
