About this title

Synopsis

An enduring classic of angling literature that captures the music of rivers and the great joy of angling.

From the Back Cover

Few books have captured the haunting world and music of rivers, and of the sport they provide, as well as A River Never Sleeps. Roderick Haig-Brown writes of fishing not just as a sport, but as an art. He knows moving water and the life within it - its subtlest mysteries and perpetual delights. He is a man who knows fish lore as few people ever will, and the legends and history of a great sport.Month by month he takes you from river to river, down at last to salt water and the sea: in January, searching for the steelhead in the dark, cold water; in May, fishing for bright sea-run cutthroats; and on to the chill days of October and the majestic run of spawning salmon.A River Never Sleeps is one of the enduring classics of angling: it will prove a rich reading experience for all who love fishing or rivers. (5 3/4 X 8 1/2, 364 pages, illustrations)
