<![if !vml]> <![endif]> 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 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. 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.
