It’s always a bit of a buzz to see an urban river headlining the pages of the UK’s prestigious Trout & Salmon magazine, and this month is no exception – featuring as it does a portrait of the River Goyt by regular columnist (and well-known fishing film-maker) Don Stazicker.
Having previously explored the Yorkshire Calder further north, Don now tracks the Goyt from its source in the upland peat deposits that also feed the headwaters of the Dane and the Derbyshire Wye, and fishes in the glorious post-industrial landscape of New Mills with local expert Trevor Heyliger.
As readers of Trout in Dirty Places may remember, this whole area lends itself perfectly to images of anglers dwarfed by soaring railway arches, retaining walls and renovated mills, and in this case we reckon it’d be worth grabbing the September 2024 issue of T&S for Richard Faulks’s photography alone.
