1996 1st edition. Ppxii,173. B/w illustrations, maps.
"Chronicles a diverse life that included fishing in Sri Lanka, Turkey, Spain, and widely elsewhere, but nowhere with more charm and immediacy than his nearby New England rivers". Dr von Essen, in his work for the World Health Organisation, travelled and fished - mostly in freshwater - all over the world. Much on fishing in Scandinavia and New England, with chapters on mahseer, Alaskan salmon fishing, and trout fishing in Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, New Zealand and Chile. His experience of being poisoned by the spines of a weever fish, with detailed medical descriptions of the symptoms, will make me doubly careful next time I fillet one.
