About the Author

"Peter Lapsley has been fishing for trout, sea trout and grayling in the UK and overseas for over 50 years and is a qualified game angling instructor.

He has contributed countless articles to a wide range of British and overseas game angling and field sports magazines. This is the eleventh book he has written or co-written.

Although he lives in London and fishes chiefly on the chalkstreams and stillwaters of southern England, Peter retains a passion for the lovely wild-trout waters of Scotland, Wales and Ireland, of the north and south-west England.

He is married with two children. "
