The Tale of a Wye Fisherman by H.A Gilbert
This book was written by my grandfather, H.A Gilbert in 1929 and has recently been republished by The Medlar Press
This is a classic book about the river Wye – its story, the people, the industry, the fishing…
My grandfather, Humphrey Gilbert, was a great angler himself
Besides documenting the history of the saving of this grand river, he sought to interest all good anglers in Wye fishing and its ways, and championed all that fought in the good cause of preservation
This new edition includes updates from the 1953 edition
With beautiful black and white photos of people and the river from the first edition
Cased hardback with dust jacket
Black and white illustrations
248 pages
It is simply quite staggering to read the records of the number of fish caught in the river over this period
My grandfather lists them all. Let this be a wake-up call! A vital ‘baseline’ of memory – lest we forget that once – not so long ago – the River Wye gave us thousands of salmon each year – enough to support an industry – a river ‘worth fighting for’
Also new for this edition is a tribute to my grandfather written by my brother, Simon English
Approx size 20 cm x 13 cm
