Fly Patterns of British Columbia

Book by Lingren, Arthur James

A retired administrator with the Greater Vancouver Regional District, Art Lingren has lived all his life in Vancouver and spent 37 years of his professional life supplying water and collecting and treating wastewater for the Lower Mainland's member municipalities. Art has served a number of years as a director of the Steelhead Society of British Columbia, is the official historian for the British Columbia Federation of Fly Fishers and past president of British Columbia's oldest fly fishing club, the Totem Flyfishers. However, afflicted by a love-affair with sport fishing for much of his adult life, he has experienced an ever-absorbing interest in the history of the sport. With about 40 years of experience chasing fish to many places in the province and his passion for the history of the sport Art has authored eight books and contributed to ten others. When not busy working, spending time with wife Beverley and son Charles or writing about his passion, Art is off on his next steelhead, salmon, coastal or interior trout fishing trip.
