The Philosopher, the Fish and the Dove: 4: Salmon

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Geoffrey Palmer continues a series celebrating the life and work of Izaak Walton, author of The Compleat Angler.

When Walton fished here, the River Dove was famous for its salmon stocks, but over the years the population has declined to extinction. This year marks the sixth annual re-stocking of the river with salmon parr in the hope of returning it to its former state.
