Here is a guide to the most exciting development in British angling for many years, fly fishing for trout and grayling in the very centre of towns and cities throughout the United Kingdom. From Sheffield to South London, from Merthyr Tydfil to Edinburgh, this is the cutting edge of 21st century fishing.
Nothing is more surreal yet exhilarating than casting a fly for iconic clean-water species in the historic surroundings of our most damaged river-scapes - centres of post-industrial decay, but now also of rediscovery and regeneration.
Fishing focused profiles of 50 selected rivers
Interviews with local conservationists dedicated to restoring the urban rivers
Local flies and emerging traditions
Details of how to get involved and support this restoration work
256 Pages
Hardback
This book guides readers towards relaxing, good value fishing on their own doorsteps as a viable alternative to more costly ( and carbon-intensive ) destination angling. A positive lifestyle choice in challenging moral and economic times.
About the Author: Theo Pike is an angling/environmental writer. As Chairman of the Wandle Trust, he was instrumental in restoring south London's River Wandle to its former status as a world famous chalkstream fishery. This project's success inspired the Wild Trout Trust to establish a national "Trout in the Town" programme, with the Wandle as its flagship initiative. Theo has done much work advising groups on mobilising local support, motivating volunteers, and best practice for river clean ups. He was awarded the Wild Trout Trust's Bernard Venables Award for services to wild trout conservation and internationally honoured as a Sage Conservation Hero in 2009.
