Hugh Falkus - A Life on the EdgeChris NewtonHugh Falkus was a gifted and passionate writer, a compelling broadcaster and a mesmerising storyteller, as well as an inspiration to generations of anglers. His seminal work, Sea Trout Fishing - A Guide to Success, still in print after nearly half a century, firmly established him as the father of modern sea trout fishing. Falkus' achievements were many and varied. He was a daring and highly competitive yachtsman, an outstanding sportsman and a talented actor, playwright and producer. In the 1960s his pioneering work in wildlife broadcasting earned him two of the greatest honours in the film-making business, The Prix Italia and the Blue Ribbon. A Life on the Edge tells Hugh Falkus' story for the first time, exploring his life, his works and his legacy and examining what made Falkus the man he was.
