Beattie, Rob

Rob Beattie first came face to face with a fish when he fell into the Devilly Burn just outside Laurencekirk in Scotland. When all the thrashing and screaming was done and he finally regained his footing, Rob found that the water was six inches deep. And that he had a fish in his pocket. Thus, an angler was born. In the years that followed he caught many more fish, sometimes intentionally, and found time to write the bestselling 101 Golden Rules of Fishing and Fishing: A Very Peculiar History.
