Malcolm Greenhalgh
Malcolm Greenhalgh spent his working life lecturing and researching estuary and freshwater plants and animals. Having got fed up with students and meetings, on his fortieth birthday he gave it all up to spend his time with natural history and fly-fishing. So for the last 23 years and 7 months he has fished around much of the world, mainly for salmon, trout, sea trout and grayling, but also for exotic species in tropical seas and in four Amazonian rivers. His books include The Wild Trout and Atlantic Salmon (with artist Rod Sutterby), Trout Fishing in Rivers, The Complete Fly-Fisher’s Handbook: Natural flies and their imitations, Salmon on the Fly, The Salmon and Sea Trout Fisher’s Handbook (with Hugh Falkus), The Complete Book of Fly Fishing (with Ed Jaworowski, and including contributions by many ‘greats’ including Lefty Krek, Dave Whitlock, Joan Wulff and Oliver Edwards), Collins Guide to the Freshwater Life of Britain and Northern Europe and The Floating Fly. Out shortly will be An Encyclopedia of the World’s fishing Flies (it will be launched at Fly Fair), and The Trout and the Mayfly. He has made too many videos, caught fish on TV and nattered about catching fish on radio.
