Silver Spirit by Tom O'Reilly

Tom O’Reilly’s first trout was caught when he was a small boy, from a little Cornish stream that flowed near his home.

How he practised and practised casting, using trees and plants as targets as he cast on his back lawn. He bought an old fibreglass rod and cheap reel and line in the winter months, and it seemed an age before the season eventually started so he could try out his new found skills.

So he headed for the river again to cast for the wild brownies. How beautiful they were, and indeed still are! And how he’d marvel at their butter yellow bellies, and their freckles and spots, such a perfect, exquisite little creature.

From then on his fly-fishing ran along smoothly with his coarse-fishing, and his sea-fishing, another offshoot of this great sport called angling.


In many ways he is lucky to live in Cornwall where the sea-trout & salmon fishing is good, along with great wild brown trouting, an array of trout still-waters and lakes.

Silver Spirit is a charming addition to game fishing literature. It follows the adventures of Tom O’Reilly on fishing trips around the wonderful sea trout, brown trout and salmon rivers and rainbow trout still waters of his native Cornwall and neighbouring Devonshire.
