Book description
As a child in the 1960s, Luke Jennings was fascinated by the rivers
and lakes around his Sussex home. Beneath their surfaces, it seemed to
him, waited alien and mysterious worlds. With library books as his
guide, he applied himself to the task of learning to fish. His
progress was slow, and for years he caught nothing. But then a series
of teachers presented themselves, including an inspirational young
intelligence officer, from whom he learnt stealth, deception and the
art of the dry fly. So began an enlightening but often dark-shadowed
journey of discovery. It would lead to bright streams and wild
country, but would end with his mentor's capture, torture and
execution by the IRA.
