Wild Fishing In Wild Places

By Adrian Latimer
 
Reveiwed by: Bob Kloskowski
While reading through the pages of Wild Fishing in Wild Places, I found myself watching Adrian Latimer mature from a child into an adult and from a novice into a fine fly fisher. From the purchase of his first rod and reel as a twelve year old in the early seventies through the development of his casting a skills on his uncle’s lawn in Devon I felt that I was traveling by his side. From chapter to chapter as his knowledge of tackle and fishing increased so did his success as an angler. I found myself envious of his first Scottish salmon, a seventeen and a half pound firm silver beauty from the Craigpot pool.
A brief fishing trip to the hallowed chalkstreams of southern England leaves Adrian with disappointed after witnessing the management practices on these legionary fisheries.
We traveled from one fishing experience to another learning a great deal along the way. Experiences that were shared willingly and freely be they good or bad. A fishing trip in Bermuda to be avoided yet a wonderful trip and learning experience in Venezuela for bonefish.
In Chapter 18, Adrian shares an interesting insight about Female Lingerie and fly fishing. Something called the “Pheromone Theory”.
While traveling and fishing with Adrian through the pages of this book from Iceland to Montana with many wild places in between, I found this book both well written and informative. My only disappointment was that only one chapter was dedicated to fly fishing in Montana however as a resident of Montana I found that chapter to be an accurate depiction of the fishing and topography.
A very enjoyable book with much to be gained from within it’s pages and with all future sales going to the North Atlantic Salmon Fund.
