Crown, New York, 1975, reprint of the 1951 edition. Illustrated with drawings. 5.5" x 8.25". 222 pp. Tan cloth. Includes a new 2 page preface by the author. Fly fishing for salmon and trout, with chapters on flies, tackle, ".and he is at his best when discussing the additional dividends available to every fisherman through his own observations of wildlife and growing things". Fine in fine wrapper.
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. A tight and unmarked copy-" One of the most prolific fly-fishing writers of the twentieth century, Roderick L. Haig-Brown continues his season's cycle with Fisherman's Spring, a book that is as much about the deep philosophical aspects of fly fishing as it is about fly fishing itself. Readers will learn about the abundance of spring life in the streams of British Columbia while also being treated to Haig-Brown's thoughtful musings and ideas about the rewards of fly-fishing streams. Chapters readers will encounter include Spring Defined Early Cutthroat Lakes Fly Types The Secret Life Fishing and the Common Man On Wading Fishermen and Forestry Fishing and Milkmaids The Forecast Recognizing Birds Putting Fish Back A Boy and a Fish Pole And many more Discover within these pages how fly fishing can enrich life and bring joy to every fisher. Both novices and experts alike will find a wealth of knowledge in Fisherman's Spring. Originally published in 1964, Fisherman's Fall brings a unique perspective to the world of fall fishing. In the preface, Robert L. Haig-Brown ruminates on the attempts to preserve the salmon and trout in the rivers of British Columbia. What we know could save them, yet what we do contradicts that knowledge. Gaining the knowledge in this book will help fishers learn the nature of the fish and might even inspire some to contribute to their preservation. Fisherman's Fall gives fishers all the tools to become adept at fishing the rivers of British Columbia as well as firsthand knowledge of the fish of those rivers and their habits. In fabulous prose, readers will discover the unique fishing facts and techniques that accompany the fall season, the differences between salmon in salt water and fresh water, the ocean years of salmon, the nature of estuaries, steelhead mysteries, and what makes an ideal stream. Besides gathering wise information, readers get to glimpse the inner thoughts of a fisherman in the chapters of Haig-Brown's thoughts while fishing. These wise words will speak to any fisher, and they will even speak to those who have never been on a river. Combining angling advice and inner reflection, this book is a must-have for fishermen and fisherwomen of all ages.".

This is the third book in Haig-Brown's 'Seasons' series - Fisherman's Fall, Fisherman's Winter, Fisherman's Spring, and Fisherman's Summer. Roderick Haig-Brown was an influential fly-fisherman and thinking man -- a philosopher some might say. He became a very influential advisor to the fledgling organizations of his time, Trout Unlimited and the Federation of Flyfishers. These organizations were responsible for starting the movement to curtail put-and-take trout stocking and focus on trout habitat. Through his writings he chronicled early efforts in game and fish conservation, fly fishing, and the art of the fly fishing experience. He was a prolific writer who published many books, including A River Never Sleeps, first published in 1946. In 1947 Haig-Brown won the inaugural Canadian Library Association Book of the Year for Children Award, recognizing his 1943 novel Starbuck Valley Winter, which features trapping. He won award again in 1963 for The Whale People, a novel that features Native Americans. In 1953 Haig-Brown received an honorary LLD (Doctor of Laws) from the University of British Columbia. His books for younger readers won several awards, including the Governor General's Award for "Saltwater Summer".
