Confessions of a Shooting Fishing Man by Laurence Catlow
In the form of a diary of his sporting year, Catlow responds to the anti-field sports arguments. During this period he purchases shooting ground, a new gun dog and regularly goes fishing, yet the pages are interspersed with his thoughts on foxhunting, vegetarianism and his quest to understand the motives behind hunting.
Laurence Catlow is considered one of the finest and most thoughtful writers on flyfishing today. He has a doctorate in Classics from Cambridge University and was Head of Classics at Sedbergh School. He lives in Brough, Cumbria, and fishes mainly in that county and in Yorkshire, although his pursuit of trout also takes him further afield, to Scotland, Wales, Shropshire and Hampshire. His other interests include shooting and beating, walking his dogs, wine, religion and classical music. Laurence Catlow writes about shooting and fishing for the sporting press. He is author of Confessions of a Shooting, Fishing Man, Once a Flyfisher, Private Thoughts from a Small Shoot and That Strange Alchemy. all published by Merlin Unwin Books.
