Chalkstream 1st Edition (Leather)

C. Rangeley-Wilson

This leather-bound book is from first edition and is limited to only 75 copies..

A chalkstream is the ultimate angler's river. There are over a hundred of these most perfect streams in England and northern France. Chalkstream celebrates these rivers, their geology, their history, their trout and their fly fishing. From Ruskin and Coleridge to Plunket Greene, Negley Farson, Venables and Walker; from the stately Test, to the dapperling Piddle; streams that flow through unspoilt countryside, streams that flow through pipes, watermeadows to snuff mill.  This book praises them all and will appeal as much to passionate trout fishermen as to armchair anglers with a love of beautiful rivers. The book is divided by region - Wessex, Thames, East Anglia, Eastern Wolds, and France - and includes pull-out colour maps of chalkstream catchments and beautiful black and white photographs taken by the author.
