- Synopsis
- ‘a beautifully written paean to Scottish fishing . . . The greatest compliment you could pay this book is that non-anglers would enjoy it every bit as much as dyed-in-the-wood fishers’ – Richard Bath, Scottish FieldThe Silver Invicta is a stream of impressions from a fishing life, in its varying moods, coloured with plenty of whisky and eccentric company. Join Tom Harland on his light-hearted journeys with his fly rod; take part in his triumphs and disasters on rough, wild camping trips and share his encounters with the wildlife of Scotland’s rivers and lochs.The ‘Silver Invicta’ was the traditional fly which was taken by Tom’s first salmon and is also a nod to the spirit of Scotland’s embattled migratory fish.In this glorious eulogy to life outdoors, Harland dispels some of the myths surrounding the exclusivity of fly fishing and all the rivers and lochs featured are readily available on an affordable basis. Open this treasure trove of a book to share the pleasure the author finds through fishing respectfully in magical, wild, and seldom-visited places.
