A Life of Salmon Fishing in Scotland
Ratings1
Average rating4
Tracing the shifts and moods of four seasons along Scotland's River Tweed, Andrew Douglas-Home weaves a story of a close relationship with salmon. Threaded through the year are stories too of one of the country's oldest families; stories of politics, military service, culture and the stewardship of our natural world. Through vivid vignettes and family memories, Andrew Douglas Home spins a homely, yet forthright and dryly witty narrative; both the perfect companion for those who love river fishing and a detailed and informative take on preservation and conservaion; looking back at age-old practices and traditions and looking forward to what we must do to secure the future of the Atlantic salmon and their rivers.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Love the cover on this one!
I have been reading this one off and on for a while now. It's the type of book that is perfect for before sleep reading. Beautifully written and engaging, you can tell the author is passionate about fishing. His vivid descriptions of places and people really immerse you in the stories. This book was just a delight to experience.
