Chapter
A Border Boyhood
A Border Boyhood awakens with the soft pull of memory—an evocation of landscapes etched not just in geography, but in the heart. The rivers Yarrow, Ettrick, and Tweed are not merely waterways, but vessels of story, carrying the dreams and echoes of childhood past. Even when one walks beneath foreign skies or lies under unfamiliar earth, the memory of those Border lands persists, gentle and enduring. The hush of the streams, the scent of old heather, and the gleam of foxglove in the dusk are not…-

The third day
The third day in The Compleat Angler begins with rising excitement as Venator eagerly looks forward to more than just fishing—he is also drawn to the peaceful rhythm and deeper meaning of the experience shared with Piscator. Rather than jumping straight into technique, the conversation takes a reflective turn. Piscator shares his concern over modern angling’s decline, blaming not nature, but people. He expresses frustration about the lack of effort to control otters and poachers who exploit rivers…-

Chapter XIII – The Compleat Angler begins with Piscator’s thoughtful reflections on the eel, a fish both admired and misunderstood. With genuine curiosity, he recounts the many theories about how eels reproduce, a mystery that has puzzled naturalists for generations. Some have claimed that eels are born from mud, others from dew, while more grounded observers like Rondeletius propose subtle anatomical evidence suggesting they breed in ways not yet fully grasped. This blend of folklore and evolving…

Loch Awe–The Boatman’s Yarns
Loch Awe--The Boatman's Yarns begins not with a cast but with the recognition that true fishing in Scotland demands patience, travel, and a willingness to seek solitude far from crowded banks. South of the Pentland Firth, angling grows scarce, spoiled by overuse and proximity to urban sprawl. But Loch Awe, though touched by time and tourism, remains a place where the rhythm of water still beats slowly. It is not untouched—railways and lodges have left their mark—but it still offers quiet for those…-

Chapter III – The Compleat Angler unfolds with Piscator challenging the prevailing notion that the Chub is an inferior fish. Rather than dismiss it for its many bones or bland taste, he insists it can be quite flavorful when prepared properly. The Chub is often overlooked, but Piscator sees its potential when treated with care and knowledge. He details two cooking methods. One involves roasting with a mix of herbs, verjuice or vinegar, and butter to create a firm texture. The other method suggests…

Chapter XIV – The Compleat Angler opens with an exchange that gently shifts from instruction to fellowship, set against a peaceful riverside scene. Piscator, seasoned and thoughtful, introduces the barbel—an often-overlooked but strong and enduring fish. Its name comes from the small whisker-like barbels under its mouth, a unique trait among river fish. Though prized for the fight it offers, the barbel is not favored for the table. Its flesh can be bland, and its spawn is said to be dangerous,…

Chapter
The Yarn of the Black Officer
The Yarn of the Black Officer begins with the echo of boots on stone and a name that stirs caution rather than reverence. The Black Officer, whose legend blends soldierly duty with dark mystique, first emerged during the 18th-century enlistment drives of the Black Watch. He moved through glens with a deceptive promise—that the men who followed him would merely march before the King in London. Instead, their destination was not ceremonial but colonial—India, far from home and riddled with conflict. The…-

Chapter IV — The Compleat Angler

Piscator and Venator, now joined by the milk-woman and her daughter Maudlin, find joy beyond fishing as they discuss the beauty and value of trout. These fish are celebrated for their elegance and culinary worth, seen as a gift of nature that aligns with the changing seasons, much like deer. Piscator emphasizes that trout thrive in quick-flowing streams with gravel…-

Chapter XV — The Compleat Angler
Chapter XV – The Compleat Angler opens with a focus on simpler quarry, perfect for novice anglers who seek enjoyment without elaborate skills. Piscator begins by describing the gudgeon, a modest fish praised not just for its flavor but also its healthful qualities. Its silver skin and spotted sides make it easy to recognize, and it favors swift, shallow streams where the current keeps the gravel clean. These fish do not chase flies like trout but feed from the bottom, nibbling on red worms that drift…-

Loch-Fishing
Loch-Fishing evokes more than the pursuit of trout; it taps into a deeper connection between angler and landscape, where every loch tells its own tale. In Scotland, these waters stretch far beyond the ordinary, offering challenges shaped by nature’s whims and the fish’s unspoken instincts. One might find eager, finger-length trout in Loch Borlan that rise with childlike trust, while Loch Awe holds its secrets closer, sheltering elusive giants in darker depths. The contrast is stark yet poetic,…-
