A philosophical memoir based on experiences dry fly fishing around the world. Each chapter is structured around one of the many stunning locations Bryan has visited as a fisherman, the history of the fly he uses there, and a concept, book or spiritual experience that influenced him during his life.

Immerse yourself in the waters of the world according to Bryan Archer, fisherman, autodidact and philosopher. This serene memoir is a love letter to the rivers he has fished and the people he has fished them with, the flies he has used and the people who came before him.

Written with great affection and skill, this book visits some of the world's most spectacular fishing venues, exploring their history, their fish and their flies, and takes us into the lives and works of the great thinkers, writers and friends that have accompanied the meditative fisherman on his journey round the globe.

Bryan Archer has lived most of his life local to Blagdon Lake, and has been fishing for over 40 years. The Meditative Fisherman is his first book, which he began writing at the respectable age of 72. He is a father and grandfather, and currently lives in Wales.
