She was returning to a childhood pursuit and a passion passed on by her mother.Fishing overtook Marinas life as she grew enraptured by the quiet magic of angling. Whiling away hours by a Highland river or a local chalk stream, with only the ritual of casting and the music of the water for company, Marina found an escape from a failing marriage and a connection to a tradition of female anglers stretching back generations.Alongside the twists and turns of her own story, Marina traces the epic migratory journey of the Atlantic salmon and its fight for survival against the odds. Cast Catch Release is a love letter to the water, and what it means to find peace and purpose in the great outdoors.

She has made a number of TV appearances - including alongside Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer (forthcoming episode of Gone Fishing) and Giles Coren, among others. Marina is committed to encouraging more and more young people to take up fly-fishing, as well as championing the importance of preserving rivers for future generations. She is based in Yorkshire but grew up in Scotland, Gloucestershire and Devon. Review A very revealing book about life, salmon and angling. Marinas writing is as exquisite as her casting. I hate her. -- Paul WhitehouseA unique and very enjoyable story, filled with simple joys and more complex challenges. -- Tristan Gooley, author of How to Read a TreeAn engaging, forthright and impressive debut - this highly personal memoir will appeal to anyone who loves what fishing can bring to life. As fluent and assured as one of the writers Spey casts -- David Profumo, author of The Lightning ThreadGibson compares the harrowing natural history of the Atlantic salmon to her own restless, sometimes reckless life and illustrates that, although it really is possible to find serenity and purpose through fly-fishing, getting there can be a long, strange trip. -- John Gierach, author of Trout BumReally beautiful and deeply honest. As beautifully drawn as a dry fly landing delicately onto a rivers surface. Cast, Catch, Release is far more than the fishing stories of one of Britains most iconic anglers - its about love, loss, and above all, the enduring hope that we all must carry with us as people, whether we cast for a fish or not. -- Will Millard, broadcaster and author of The Old Man and the Sand EelAn engaging, endearing, deeply felt book. A moving portrait of the end of a marriage and an absorbing account of the Atlantic salmon, one of the worlds great creatures. -- David Coggins, author of The OptimistA well-wrought story of love, self-love, and fly fishing. Marina Gibsons book illuminates the healing power of practicing something complicated while immersed, literally, in the natural world.
