Depending on the weather, Kevin Parr is an Idler, fisherman, writer, amateur naturalist and fungi forager—though by his own admission he excels in no particular field. He is the author of Rivers Run, The Idle Angler and black comedy The Twitch. Longtime angling correspondent to The Idler magazine and contributor to CountryFile and Caught by the River among others, Kev also pens a weekly fishing column for the Dorset Echo. Kev lives with the most understanding of wives within the hills of West Dorset, in a small cottage with an overgrown garden and a colony of grass snakes a few paces from the gate.
