no dram for me thanks, Andy (i'm more of a real ale man), but if you like Brian Clarke's writing then try "On Fishing" which is a collection of articles & essays. you can get it off amazon for a couple of quid as a paperback and at over 400 pages you might need another bottle of malt!

a couple of (dare I say it) slightly more adventurous options: "Somewhere Else", by Charles Rangeley-Wilson or a little-known gem by Seth Norman, "Meanderings of a Fly-Fisherman". a couple of bottles of Williams Bros. Midnight Sun are also warmly recommended! :cheers;

For me any of the Speyside malts go down well with my pallet the older the better, As for the heartburn inducing Islay malts for me its one only and goes by the name of Caol Ila 12-Year-Old Islay Single Malt Whisky or older if you can afford. As for books and not strictly fishing.

just reviewed the highland hermit book superscot, i think that its a must read book. all that you say that its not a fishing book makes me think when fishing remote fishing places it makes me wonder how do the folks get by. i think this book may explain how life must be during the winters isolation ect thanks amdy m

Andy Isolation Shepard is also excellent, if they are  for a Kindle why not just download them both   :)

A bit of John Gierach and a Talisker for me.
