On this site you may browse their academic catalogue, look at the range of their journals, and also purchase textbooks, monographs, and so on. You can access some of Chris's work (largely material on phonology or metrics) by typing 'McCully' into the CUP Search box.

The largest-circulation game fishing magazine in Europe, and one that celebrated its 50th year of publication in 2006.

The editors of Waterlog - 'the greatest angling journal of all time' - have been kind to me over the past few years. On this site you can read excerpts from some of the splendid articles the journal runs, and can search back numbers of the journal by clicking on the 'Archive' button. There you will find fragments of some of my own neglected masterpieces, including 'Almost an octopus' (2004), 'Casting at the garden gnome' (2005) and 'Don and the sturgeon' (2007).

This link will take you to the Special Collections of the John Rylands University Library of Manchester. After opening the page, click on the link to 'literary archives' if you wish to see some of the collections of archival papers falling under the remit of the Modern Literary Archives Project.

A group of scholars with which I had an association of over 20 years - and one of the best departments of its kind in the UK.

Courses and training for those wishing to begin, to improve or to polish their working knowledge of aspects of English.

A site that should need no introduction. Books - new, second-hand, pristine or slightly foxed. Worldwide delivery. Great site.

One of the best - if not the best - sites in which to find angling books. Includes what for the time being are sales and distribution of my own The Other Side of the Stream (1998) and Sketches with Fishing Rods (2008). Extensive list, including rare and hard-to-find titles. Worldwide shipping.

Dutch fly-fishing site (largely in English): tackle for pike and trout fishing; special events; fly-tying; belly-boats and accessories. E-mail or phone orders, plus shop opening times (Kampen). Recommended.

KNMI weather site. Click also on 'Maritiem' for tide-tables.

This is the link to click if you need to find a copy of Ad Swier's book (2006) Passion for Pike or my own Sketches with Fishing Rods (2008).

Splendid range of tubes and pontoons available from this dealer, based in the US. Excellent service: we ordered three Outcast Trinities from this source in 2007, and they arrived in the Netherlands within a week.

Dutch fishing site, with weekly catch reports, photographs, and links to other angling and angling-related sites.

Fly-fishing site from Loop (Sweden). I very much like Loop gear, which I've used for many years and which has proved hugely efficient and reliable.

Site for Hardy and Grey's tackle and clothing (UK). Includes angling stories and reports. Again, I've used Hardy and Grey's gear for years: it has never - as in 'never' - let me down, and is always well-designed and durable.

Tackle and clothes from John Norris (on-line store). I've been dealing with this tackle shop since 1985, and even spent my first-ever royalty cheque here....

Great site devoted to float tubing (largely but not exclusively for pike). Includes some words and photos about Ireland and Sweden from one Chris McCully and friends.
