16/10/08 - Charlie White recommends Jo Orchard-Lisle's new book - 'Fishing Huts'.

Dubbed 'The most amazing fishing book of the season', Jo Orchard-Lisle has scoured UK riverbanks, from the manicured Test to the wildest Hebridean bogland, in search of the ideal fishing hut. Setting out with camera and a sunny disposition, she has travelled across the country to photograph huts of all sorts, from famous retreats like Isaak Walton's on the Dove and AHE Wood's lavish headquarters at Cairnton on Dee to the merest tin bothy in the Highland wilderness.

A remarkable variety of fishing hideouts are illustrated in over 250 colour photos taken with the co-operation of the riparian owners and angling clubs. Jo's diary of her journeying tells the story of the people and places encountered on the way and gives some of the history of the older buildings, like FM Halford's hut at Mottisfont or the Nissen hut at Broadlands on the Test.

The result is an extraordinary and fascinating book which provides enough fishing fantasies to last through the longest close season.
