Jeremy Wade Biography

Jeremy Wade is a writer and TV presenter with a special interest in rivers and freshwater fish who has been travelling (mostly solo) to the world's remoter rivers for 30 years. He has a degree in zoology from Bristol University and a postgrad teaching certificate in biological sciences from the University of Kent and has worked as a secondary school biology teacher. He grew up in south-east England on the banks of the Suffolk Stour where his fascination with the underwater world began - and the desire to always see what's around the next bend. His first overseas trip was to the mountain rivers of India in 1982 and since then he has increasingly spent his time tracking down large and little-known fish in rivers around the world - particularly in the Congo and Amazon rainforests. I don't see myself as a particularly expert angler he says. But what I am able to do is get into the kinds of places where outsiders don't normally go with enough energy left to put a line in the water. Teaming up with local fishermen is vital to success and what's great about this approach is that you get to see beneath the surface of diverse human cultures too.
