Weeks, journalist, essayist and editor of The Atlantic Monthly did not takeup flyfishing until he was forty. When he did he had the contacts to fish wherever he travelled around the world. Essays on his visits to rivers in Canada, New England, Britain and Ireland, the Pacific Northwest and the USSR. On a local note, he used to stay with Sir Frederick Bennett in Aberangell in the Dyfi Valley, fishing Sir Freddie's lake at Cwmllegoedwig (which, as an American, he wisely just calls "Cwm").
