Salmo-the Leaper
Introduced-by Hugh Falkus
Prized by gourmet, netsman and angler alike, sea trout and Atlantic salmon return to spawn in the rivers of their birth. The magic of their migration has been revealed by the scientist, but it is through the angler's eyes that we become aware of their extraordinary behaviour.
For HUGH FALKUS , writer, naturalist and internationally famous angler, these fish are two of the most astonishing animals on earth. He tells the story of both fish and fisherman with the knowledge of a lifetime devoted to the sport.
The film is a sequel to his popular and highly-praised Self Portrait of a Happy Man.
Hugh Falkus and his team have produced another masterpiece, the equal of Self Portrait if not its peer. (ANGLING) Film cameraman HUGH MAYNARD Film editor BETTY BLOCK
