What does it mean to fish in a damaged world? And why bother?
Peace, Trout and Understanding explores this question through a collection of essays, written from the point of view of a lifetime-committed ecology student.
From flats fishing for permit on bleached coral reefs and swinging salmon flies through sewage spills, to unpaid internships living in a car and dodging lynchings in West Country fields at midnight - these are not only tales of a fishing dirtbag, but deeper reflections on what it means to be connected to all our imperilled waters.
Part nature writing, part scientific exploration, with a healthy shake of youthful adventure, these tales are told for anyone who has ever tried to peer through the murk of eco-anxiety with stubborn optimism to see and save the life within.
