Malcolm Greenhalgh
Malcolm Greenhalgh is both a naturalist and a fly fisherman. After reading biological sciences and researching estuary ecology for his PhD he lectured for sixteen years before becoming a freelance writer on his fortieth birthday (in 1986).
Although Malcolm has fished in many far-flung corners of the world, he still enjoys pottering about in his own rivers and lakes in north-west England (and his fortnight at mayfly-time on Ireland's Lough Erne), and he is proud to be the Vice President of the best fly-fishing club in the region, Bowland Game Fishing Association. He has written over twenty books and has contributed to a wide range of magazines, including Waterlog.
When not out in the countryside with his fly-fishing rods, nets and binoculars, Malcolm enjoys growing fruit and vegetables, cooking and eating good food, and drinking good wine. He hates the rudeness and ignorance of so many modern Englishmen (and women), cats that shit on his vegetable patch, and most politicians and (un)civil servants. He loathes only one thing, he says: the present Labour government.
His new book, The Floating Fly, is due for publication in Summer 2008 and is, he says, his last fishing book and one that he always wanted to write, having long been a dry-fly fisherman.
