    My fishing pal just sent me this. I'm sat in work absolutely bored to tears. I'm all fired up now and ready to fish again after watching this. There's not a truer word spoken when he says he looks forward to the season ending and then can't wait for it to start again! The misery and pain we all put ourselves through but we wouldn't change a thing. I'll definitely be picking up your book. Many thanks.

    Cracking film. Boo is rapidly becoming a hero to me. The yanks might have trout bums, we have salmon boos. I’m going to make a point of watching this on repeat whilst skiving from work. I think Boo and his Lanky posse will approve!!!

    One of the best films about salmon fishing I have ever seen. This is the spirit. Much rather than lifting salmon after salmon in slow-motion out of the water... Thanks!

    I have a story about a similar fellow though, here it is. My close fishing friend knew of a group of anglers who went up every year to the north of Scotland, in there party was a very old boy who had been shot up in the war, he insisted on salmon fishing though it hurt, he couldn’t walk properly, would link arms with a young man, who walked him out into the pool, and them would leave him for some time, before he was moved on, a bit like being a Chess Piece on a watery version of that game. Now that’s grit. Different person, different generation, same angler. Good show.

    Steelheading here in the PNW is exactly the same. I tell my friends that are trying to get into it you can’t dabble in steeleading, you must be fully committed and obsessed to become successful.
    This is my favorite part of it all. It’s not for everyone and I like it that way.

    Beautiful film. The real goal of "salmon fishing"; sense of beauty, aesthetic and, most of all, nature respect. I'm obsessed too from the early 1981. My first scots leaper.
    Hope to find your book into italian language, maybe I'll find some answers too. Or not? Thanks

    Good to see the majesty of our northern rivers promoted too!
