Synopsis

In this collection of 14 tales of the Pacific Northwest, seasoned fisherman Russell Chatham moves from quiet and perceptive mood pieces and philosophical reflections, through adventure and humor, for a unique and special portrait of one man's lighthearted and quite wonderful obsession: fishing. To anyone wishing to recapture the rich heritage of fly fishing the West Coast and savor in stories of a bygone era, The Angler's Coast is a must-have addition to a fishing library.

About this title

About the Author:

Russell Chatham is an artist, writer residing in Livingston, Montana. Both his art and writings have appeared in numerous publications for many years.

From Library Journal:

Except for adding photographs and a new introduction, some minor editing, and a larger format, this collection of 14 thoughtful essays about fishing is the same as the 1976 edition ( LJ 4/1/76). Chatham's coast is the Pacific from San Francisco to Vancouver, but he also writes about some inland rivers and lakes. He is a fly fisherman whose favorite quarry is salmon and steelhead, although his quest for sport has even led him after herring. Because of increased fishing and the damming of rivers and other environmental pressures, his writing documents an angling scene that may never happen again. Libraries that missed the earlier edition, particularly in the West, will want to purchase.
