A River Runs Through Me

A beautifully written memoir of a lifetime spent fishing Scotland’s legendary River Tweed - and a book about far more than catching salmon. Andrew Douglas-Home grew up beside the Tweed, fishing its waters from childhood and becoming deeply involved in the stewardship and conservation of the river. Through vivid memories and engaging stories, he brings to life the salmon, the river, changing seasons, family traditions, memorable fishing days and the characters who have shaped his relationship with this extraordinary place. There are plenty of fishing stories and memorable catches, but the real pleasure lies in the author’s affection for the river itself – its wildlife, landscape, history and rhythms – together with his thoughtful reflections on the future of Atlantic salmon and the rivers they depend upon. Warm, personal and deeply evocative, this is fishing literature in the truest sense: a book about a river becoming part of a life. A wonderful read for anyone who understands that the best fishing stories are rarely just about the fish. As new condition. Softcover, 20cm x 13cm, 258 pages (printed 2023).
