Peter Lapsley

Peter Lapsley, who died in August 2013, was an inveterate fisher of trout, sea trout and grayling in the UK and overseas for over 50 years and was a qualified game angling instructor. He contributed countless articles to a wide range of British and overseas game angling and field sports magazines. The Pocket Guide to Matching the Hatch was the eleventh book he had written (or in this case co-written). Peter fished chiefly on the chalkstreams and stillwaters of southern and south west England but always had a soft spot for the wild trout waters of Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
