A history of the Grimersta fishery on the Isle of Lewis - the estate, the fishing and the men who fished there. "This is a particularly good book. It was written on commission by a professional writer, an angler and an expert on all that pertains to the Atlantic salmon. Wigan was given access to all the club minutes and records, interviewed the club members and the staff and fished the Grimersta himself (though only for one week). His comments on the personalities, past and present, of both members and staff, are shrewd, amusing, and insightful." (Bibliotheca Salmo Salar, Charles B. Wood III). Privately published in an edition of 650 copies and now quite hard to find.
