Hello All,
Apologies if I've got the title wrong.
I've been trying to do some research on which lochs to visit, and where to get permits and permissions etc,
and I saw this book in my local 2nd hand bookshop, 1991 Edition.
I've asked her to put it by for me.
Based on the quick look that I had, it seemed ideal, and VERY comprehensive.
Would you recommend it ?.
Used with Memory Map on the PC, seems like an ideal way to preserve my sanity whilst "I'm a *** nobody" is blaring.
TIA,
Anthony
The only problem with the 1991 edition is that most of the contact[tel.numbers etc]details will be out of date,and a more recent updated version would be better.But if you are willing to overlook this it is indeed a fine read,and there are few better writer's than Bruce on wild fishing.The rivers and loch's database within the site is alway's a good guideline.Hope this help's.
All the best
Chris.

If it met with approval, I'd hoped to use it for general planning, then get updated info.
Hadn't spotted the database, excellent, thank you.
Hello Steve,
QuoteNo better book for finding out where to go,
A new edition is out soon so the info will be more up to date
but the 91 will be well worth buying
Thanks for that.
Hadn't realised I'd stubbled across the best one :oops:
I'll get this one and look forward to the new edition, any idea when it's due ?.
Hello John,
QuoteJust ask on the forum too, if you want information on places to fish. There's a wide breadth of knowledge on the forum and the natives are helpful.
:D
Will do, thank you.
I'd want to do some of the research, before I make a fool of myself.
I think I'll try and make the 1st one close to transport, but with camping.
Wee man likes camping, but not the act of carrying it there :D
Thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated.
Anthony
:wink:
I'd just finished reading that thread :D
Got it for ?5
Bruce tells me he is currently working on a new edition of the book.The most useful Scottish fishing book ever
Thanks Fred.
I've had a quick look through it, and I'm very impressed, really glad I bought it.
Thanks for all the replies and recommendations.
The depressing part is looking at areas I've been in, and recognising and remembering the waters,
and cursing my late introduction to fishing.
Anthony
To continue this theme does anyone know a rough date for the new edition of this book?
Cheers,
Gary.
Had to pay ?13 for mine ....wife had been surfing the net and came across hardback copies at a whopping ?62 .... 2 of course wi her brains in her arse she was willing to pay that !until i stopped her at the final payment screen
Never ever let women buy you anything on the subject of fishing ! :angel;
Does anyone know when the new version will be released, I have the old version and would be keen on an update.

I'll ask Bruce and get back to you
62 quid!!! Anyone can have my copy for 62 quid...then I'll wait and buy the new one.
Have asked Bruce and he hopes the new edition will be out by the end of this year.

Its alright harpo I knew he was dead, I have his autobiography I dont think i need to readsome one elses account I didnt much like his seatrout fishng although the wife bought it for a present, I was pleased when some one pinched it breac uaig
That's fair enough I haven't read any of his books, I just didn't see the point to your previous post, the original poster was asking if anybody knew where to get a copy not, who does/doesn't want to read the new Hugh Falkus biography
See Bruce has posted a provisional date of later this year for publication of the "New Testament". I am desperately seeking a copy of the most recent edition of River and Lochs, to tide me over this summer. (Think it is the 2001 edition). Have searched high, low and higher still but to no avail. Anbody know of a source I would be eternally grateful.
Kind regards
Richard
Thanks, will send a respectful PM.
Regards
Richard
Any update on a release date?
