IN CAR ENTERTAINMENT

Escape from the traffic jam to the trout stream with these hour long audio cassettes of 
six top fishermen recalling their most exciting catches.

EACH BOX ALSO CONTAINS GENUINE COPIES OF THE FLIES THEY USED. 

PETER LAPSLEY is a regular writer on fly fishing and the man behind the J.R. Hartley books.  
His story involves the River Torridge in Devon and his fly is the 
BLUE UPRIGHT.

ROBERT STARR has been the Water Keeper for seven years on one of our most famous
chalk stream rivers, the Kennet at Hungerford.  His tale comes from that river and 
is about an elusive fish
he caught on a 
SEDGE PATTERN.

WILLIAM DANIEL runs guided chalk stream fishing and corporate fly fishing through 
his company Famous Fishing.  Blagdon Lake in Somerset was the setting for his 
most memorable catch using a 
BRISTOL HOPPER. 

DAVID PROFUMO has fished for salmon since his childhood and is now an angling author
and novelist who lives in Scotland and London.  He takes us back to the River Shin 
in Sutherland and a surprisingly successful
SILVER STOAT.

DAVE STEFFE is an American now resident in the UK who has fished widely in North 
America.  He recalls Henry's Fork of the Snake River and a 
HALLOWEEN FLY.

BERNARD VENABLES MBE was one of our most famous fishermen and the elder 
statesman of British Angling.  He had fished all over the world.  He was an artist and 
journalist and his ‘Mr Crabtree'  books are now collectors' items.  Bernard's story, 
recorded just before he died, involved the River Piddle in Dorset and a ‘mystery' fly 
which we persuaded him to call the 
VENABLES OLIVE.

"What I wanted to do was to put together a cassette which would capture 
the peace and quiet of the countryside, a day away from it all on the riverbank, 
so that fishermen who have to spend time in their cars, when they'd rather be fishing, 
could escape from the tensions of the traffic to the peace of their favourite pastime. 
What you'll hear on the tape is our featured fishermen talking, 
just as they would at the end of a day on the water,
along  with the sounds of wildlife and the evocative rattle of reels."
