Following on from yesterdays post about authors and fishing (quite by accident) is a programme on Radio Four – Words on Water featuring John Andrews, Luke Jennings, Dexter Petley, Chris Yates and others. This is a great insight angling writers and what drives them to write, best you listen to it rather than read my clumsy scribbles!
And Caught by the River has just published another letter from Arcadia this morning featuring Dexter Petley. Read here.

Here’s a video from Nick Fisher’s Screaming Reels series broadcast on Channel Four back in the 1990’s. I used to see Nick walking about in my neighbourhood here in the east end. He used to live just a street away, where his garden backed onto the canal by Victoria Park. Only last week I spotted a few large carp cruising past his back garden but alas no barbel!
From Izaak to Ray, the Walton way…
