Pat Castle
Pat Castle, the angling authority who gives this talk, probably receives more letters from listeners than any other Scottish broadcaster when he makes his infrequent appearances in the programme. He served the usual apprenticeship on ' baggy minnows ' and ' with a piece of string and a bent pin ' and caught his first trout, which weighed half-a-pound, on the river Dee at Aberdeen, when he was only nine and a half years of age. He has fished from the northern isles of Shetland to the border Esk at Carlisle, and he can claim to have sampled the lochs and rivers in every part of Scotland, with the exception of a part of Perthshire and some of the Hebrides. He has written a number of books giving advice to anglers in Scotland. His record take was at Loch Straud , Shetland, in September 1912, when he killed fifty-two sea trout with fly in one day.
