"Jess Miller fished Atlantic salmon on Scotland's River Tay from 1958, keeping a record of his fishing happenings from which he created this book and competition in support of Atlantic salmon conservation. He worked on the Tay District Advisory Committee and had a hand in the removal of 17 netting stations from the Tay estuary, saving millions of salmon over time." "A glimpse of the past, when the Tay had truly huge fish! Characters and old friends really brought to life, with a real feeling of being a bystander watching it all happen." John Buckland in A Guide to Salmon Flies. "My imagination ran riot the same as the singing reels in the stories. A difficult book to put down, great fun, very entertaining." Paul Zissler. Ten of the hundred stories in this collection are untrue. The author is running a competition for all readers to spot which ones. (N.B. All current copies say 'Review Copy' on the front end-paper). A fine book in the George Leonard Herter tradition. Despite being dated 2012, I contributed an advertisement to this edition in Spring of 2013.
