SALT & SALMONIDS
A Modest Angler's Experiences
You don't get to my age without picking up a few things along the way; an extremely patient family*, a distressing complex about the size of your ears, debts...that sort of thing. But as a self-deprecating angler with an obscenely optimistic streak, you also pick up stories, emotional scars and just a smidgeon of actually useful knowledge. And the odd fish too, of course.
* PS. The family are mine. I didn't just find them at a bus station.
