1952 1st edition. 8vo (142 x 220mm). Ppxii,248. B/w photographs. Blue cloth, spine titled in gilt to dark blue label.
"Such an enthralling collection of varied angling experiences may well be styled a book of high adventure... Few anglers can have taken such risks in penetrating difficult places to cast a line." The author manages to make loch fishing for wee trout a highly risky business. Nonetheless an entertaining read, mostly on Scottish salmon and trout fishing. Vincent Carron Wellington was an assumed name used by David Hugh Williams (1889-1962) for most of his life. Actually born in Wales, (rather than the Highlands of Scotland as stated in this book), he was a convicted bigamist and led a personal life as fantastic as his angling stories.
