In his book, Bryan takes readers on a journey around the world in a captivating combination of a memoir and a guidebook. He shares his passion for flyfishing with his interests in meditation, consciousness, and diverse methods of thinking.
Written with great affection the book spans the globe and some of its most spectacular fishing venues, from the UK, across America, to New Zealand.
Bryan explores the history of these places, the fish, and their flies, as well as his own emotional connection to the sport.
Bryan has lived most of his life local to Blagdon Lake and has been fishing for more than 40 years.
He has lived in Spain for 15 years before returning to England and then to Powys where he now lives.
He was also a treasurer for a few years to a charity in Bristol involved with refugees.
