I have The Great Salmon Rivers of Scotland, and it makes for an enjoyable read. Has anyone read his other stuff? Worth getting?

Thanks, Rob

I have a copy of Salmon Fishers Odyssey which is a good read. Apart from covering the big four rivers in Scotland , he also has chapters on many of the smaller rivers ( Esk, Stinchar,Oykel etc.) and some of the less well known ( Awe, Gruinard, Naver etc. ). There are also chapters on the English rivers ( Wye, Dart, Frome etc. )and some coverage of Norway and Iceland . He is a good fisherman and writer ; this book covers his personal experience in many different waters, being published in 1982 it gives a picture of what salmon fishing used to be like 25years ago.
