"When fresh and funny writing comes along, it has the effect of plunging your face into iced water... This is highly imaginative storytelling; witty and sharply observed." - TROUT & SALMON MAGAZINE
"The freshest, funniest fly fishing writer we have read in a long time... Fish Camp Fail is a must read." - THE MISSION FLY MAG
It’s a journey that starts on the concrete causeways of Bristol’s Barrow Tanks, wild camps its way through the Cambrian Mountains, via Brittany’s Bay of the Dead and George Orwell’s Jura, and ends with cheesing Assynt’s Jurassic brown trout in a hooley. Fast-paced and light-hearted, this refreshingly new voice in angling writing riffs on the changing British landscape, the trout that live there and his search for a slice of solitude.
Funny, irreverent and startlingly original, Fish Camp Fail is your guide to the importance of getting away, experiencing nature and avoiding werewolves. It won't help you catch more fish, but it will make you laugh.
BEN JAILLER is a regular contributor to Fly Culture and Fallon’s Angler, and has also written for Flyfish Journal, The Drake and Trout & Salmon. He graduated from Bournemouth University with a BA in Screenwriting for Film and Television, and has written screenplays, video games and worked in media production.
"This collection of stories is everything your typical fly fishing book is not. Irreverent, funny and occasionally unrepeatable in polite print, it’s a warts and all type confessional with a difference." - DOM GARNETT, Angling Times
"A truly extraordinary fishing book." - MATTHEW WRIGHT, broadcaster and vice president of the Wild Trout Trust
"Definitely one of the most original and funniest fly-fishing books I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading!" - WILL MILLARD, author of The Old Man and the Sand Eel
"Fish Camp Fail is a fast-paced, light-hearted book that will bring a smile to your face by offering a new take on wild fishing. Ben Jailler should be commended for writing something that is original, funny and thoroughly enjoyable." - FALLON'S ANGLER
"The prose is delivered with the speed and accuracy of a machine gun being unleashed by John Cooper-Clarke. It is well observed and crafted with a skill that is peppered with humour - the sort that will make you laugh out loud." - FLY CULTURE MAGAZINE
