Summary
'Unique and very enjoyable.' - TRISTAN GOOLEY, author of How to Read a Tree
'Meditative and revelatory' DAILY MAIL
___________
An inspiring true story about the healing power of water from one of the world's best known female anglers
In her early twenties, drifting and directionless, Marina Gibson fled the city for the countryside, and picked up a fishing rod for the first time in years. She was returning to a childhood pursuit and a passion passed on by her mother.
Fishing overtook Marina's life as she grew enraptured by the quiet magic of angling. Whiling away hours by a Highland river or a local chalk stream, with only the ritual of casting and the music of the water for company, Marina found an escape from a failing marriage and a connection to a tradition of female anglers stretching back generations.
Alongside the twists and turns of her own story, Marina traces the epic migratory journey of the Atlantic salmon and its fight for survival against the odds. Cast Catch Release is a love letter to the water, and what it means to find peace and purpose in the great outdoors.

Thoroughly honest and intriguing
Loved Marina’s book, it was fascinating to hear all about not only her fishing exploits but also her life growing up and indeed the twists and turns of her life and how they have interacted with her Fishing 🎣 passion. If I were to be critical in anyway (which I’m not) I’d love to have heard more as to where the money comes from to finance all these amazing trips - only reason I say this is because I would love to go on any one of these adventures.
