Accidental Angler
Meet Charles Rangeley-Wilson, angler, conservationist, and traveler. In this broad look at fishing around the world, Rangeley-Wilson travels from city suburbs to Bhutan, from Icelandic moonscapes to the Seychelles—anywhere, in fact, his fishing rod leads. He battles titanic monsters on a tropical atoll and make-believe sharks on the mushy-peas-and-gravy Wash; he chases inscrutable grayling through back gardens in Provence and phantom sea trout. Along the way he discovers that fishing can take you to the heart of a landscape in a way few other forms of travel can match. A fishing rod will break the ice with locals, guides, farmers, shopkeepers, taxi drivers, and barflies. Fishing introduces Rangeley-Wilson to crabby weather and crabbier locals, moon-phases, riptides, floods, droughts, remarkable tales, and of course fantastic slippery beasts.
Fishing can take you to the heart of a landscape in a way few other forms of travel can match. Whether in the world''s most outlandish and awe-inspiring places or just at the end of your road, fishing will introduce you to crabby weather and crabbier locals, moon-phases, rip-tides, floods, droughts, remarkable tales, and of course fantastic slippery beasts.
In The Accidental Angler you''ll battle titanic monsters on a tropical atoll and make-believe sharks on the mushy-peas-and-gravy Wash. You''ll chase inscrutable grayling through back gardens in Provence, or phantom sea trout in downtown Southampton. And you''ll dance in Brazilian carvinals and find secret rivers hidden beneath the streets.
Join Charles Rangeley-Wilson - angler, conservationist, television presenter and traveller - for the trip of a lifetime, on a journey that will make the familiar new, and the strange familiar.
