Hugh Falkus (born 15 May 1917), Cheam, Surrey, England – (d. 30 March 1996, Cumbria), was a British writer, film maker, World War II pilot and angler. In an extremely varied career, he is perhaps best known for his seminal books on angling, particularly salmon and sea trout fishing; however, he was also a noted film-maker and broadcaster for the BBC.Hugh Edward Lance Falkus was born to James Falkus, a Surrey bank manager, and his wife Alice Maud. James retired early to a boat, first on the Essex marshes and then in Devon, upon which Hugh was sent to the East Anglian School, now Culford School in Suffolk. According to his entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Hugh caught his first fish when he was four, learned to shoot when he was six, and was an expert helmsman by the age of fifteen. By eighteen he had learned to fly, and at twenty he became a pilot in the RAF.On 11 July 1939 he married Doris Marjorie Walter, and they had two sets of twins (three sons and a daughter). The youngest son died in infancy. The older twins, Christopher and Malcolm, born in 1940, had successful careers, Christopher becoming a prominent publisher while Malcolm's career has been in economic history. Falkus' only daughter, Mary, is a Benedictine nun.In June 1940 Falkus' Spitfire was shot down over France and he spent the rest of the Second World War in German prison camps. After the war he left Doris and in 1950 he married Diana Vaughan, but on 12 May 1951 Diana was drowned, along with Charles Osborne, Bill Brendon and Sam Lee, in a boating accident off the coast of Achill Island in County Mayo, Ireland, while they were making a film about the local shark hunting industry.Hugh Falkus was "an inspiration to generations of anglers". His seminal works, Salmon Fishing and Sea Trout Fishing, still in print after more than half a century, "firmly established him as the father of modern sea trout fishing".He died of bronchopneumonia at Cragg Cottage on 30 March 1996. His son Christopher, died in 1995 of heart disease.
