About this title

Synopsis

Hugh Falkus was a gifted and passionate writer, a talented actor, a compelling broadcaster and accomplished film producer, as well as an inspiration to generations of anglers. His seminal work, 'Sea Trout Fishing - A Guide to Success', still in print after nearly half a century, firmly established him as the father of modern sea trout fishing. 'A Life on the Edge' tells Hugh Falkus' story for the first time, exploring his life, his works and his legacy and examining what made Falkus the man he was.
