Publisher's Synopsis
Fishing can take you to the heart of a landscape - whether in the world's most outlandish and awe-inspiring places, or just at the end of your road, it will introduce you to the locals, rip-tides, floods, droughts - and, of course, fantastic slippery beasts. In THE ACCIDENTAL ANGLER you'll battle titanic monsters on a tropical atoll; chase inscrutable grayling through back gardens in Provence; dance in Brazilian carnivals, and find secret rivers hidden beneath the streets. Join Charles Rangeley-Wilson - angler, conservationist, television presenter and traveller - on a journey that will make the familiar new, and the strange familiar.
