'Thanks to the care and attention given to its waters by the Association, anglers should win just reward for their efforts. And what reward! Hard fighting, pink-fleshed trout from lochs set amidst beautiful islands rich in history.'
So say Paul Young in his foreword to this book, summing up the passion for angling on Orkney, and the dedication shown by the members of the Orkney Trout Fishing Association over the past 100 years, overseeing the unique environment of the Orkney lochs for successive generations of Orcadian and visiting anglers.
Written by four leading members of the association, who have painstakingly trawled the minute books, the book charts the sometimes turbulent history of the OTFA, through its triumphs and some disasters, and highlights the key areas of the associations contribution to local angling.
