Fishing Season

In FISHING SEASON, acclaimed author Philip Weigall deftly captures all that makes the wonderful sport of flyfishing a passion for so many. It is a reflective book, an engrossing read that captures the heart and soul of this pastime that is so full of challenges, victories, disappointments, frustrations but, most of all, quiet happiness. So join Philip as he takes you through a year in the life of a flyfisher and ponders such important questions as why an organised fly box is rarer than a 10-pound trout, why you should think carefully before offering to net someone else’s fish, and how it is that, sometimes, the unlikeliest waters have the most to offer.


Philip Weigall is a flyfishing guide and instructor and fishes and travels as often as he can. Philip has been writing regularly on all things flyfishing for twenty years and is presently a columnist and feature writer for ‘Freshwater Fishing’ magazine, and editor of ‘Flyfisher’ magazine. Philip has also published FISHING SENSE with Exisle.
