Jeremy Wade is a writer and television host with a special interest in rivers and freshwater fish, and has been travelling (mostly solo) to the world’s remote rivers for more than 25 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.

In between catching fish (or, on some journeys, not catching fish), he has also caught malaria, been detained as a suspected spy, narrowly escaped drowning, been threatened at gunpoint, and survived a plane crash.

During his career he has achieved a number of notable “firsts.” These include filming a large mystery creature in an Amazon lake (dubbed “the Amazon Nessie”), and getting the first underwater footage (with cameraman Rick Rosenthal) of the giant devil catfish in India.

When not camped beside a remote river, Jeremy lives in Somerset, England, in the countryside near Bath.
