Synopsis

In Trout & Salmon the leading fly-fishing photographer R. Valentine Atkinson has captured with inimitable skill all the facets of a sport whose history, art, science, and poetry continue to inspire many thousands of enthusiasts all over the world. The six trout and six salmon destinations have been chosen for the interest and variety of their fishing, and for the impact and beauty of their landscapes - from quietly gurgling streams and secret river pools to broad, mirrorlike lakes. The writers selected have captured the essence of these waters, the personalities of the people who fish them, and the appeal of the trout and salmon that swim them. Revered figures from fly fishing's literary hall of fame, such as Zane Grey and Roderick Haig-Brown, keep company with some of the best-known contemporary writers, including Tom McGuane, David Profumo, and John Gierach. From America's western national parks to the mighty rivers of Norway, the pursuit of these majestic fish binds anglers in a unique spiritual kinship - Trout & Salmon is for fishermen and all admirers of the beautiful habitats of these fish.
