Giles Catchpole

Giles Catchpole has written the Last Cast column in Trout & Salmon magazine since 1996, about his triumphs and mishaps ranging from our native rivers and lochs to Alaska, Tierra del Fuego and the Caribbean. He has been consistenty out-fished by a variety of friends and relatives, outraged by the activities of politicians and antis and outwitted by almost every species of fish known to man.

His column is populated by a variety of characters from the brotherhood of the angle whose piscatorial efforts, and occasional successes, are related with considerable wit, great charm and a deal of scepticism.
