The quiet magic of angling

Hoping to rekindle a childhood passion and carry on a family tradition initiated by her mother, Marina Gibson chose fishing rods over jewelry for her 21st birthday. The complexity and the rituals of this sport provided her refuge from a failing marriage, giving her an escape that benefited both her mind and soul.

Tracing the epic, migratory journey of the Atlantic salmon alongside the ups and downs of her personal story, Cast, Catch, Release brings to life the joys of fishing, the spirited quest of the angler, and how these two paths meet on lakes and riverbanks around the world. A love letter to this exhilarating yet serene sport, Gibson shows what it means to find peace and purpose amidst the majesty of the great outdoors.
