Most people know the late Lee Wulff as the world's foremost salmon
angler. Few, if any, think of him as a skilled bush pilot and
explorer. But he was both, as Lee reveals in this extraordinary
memoir. Based on an unpublished manuscript that was rediscovered
only recently by his widow, Joan Wulff, this book tells the story
of Lee's years pioneering the Atlantic salmon and brook trout
fisheries on the remote coasts of northeastern Newfoundland and
Labrador. Having established a handful of outpost sporting camps by
boat, Wulff quickly realized that getting clients and supplies in
and out efficiently would require an airplane. So he cut a deal
with Piper Aircraft and learned to fly a new bright-yellow J-3 Cub
equipped with floats. Throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s, he
ferried his sports one-by-one into isolated lakes and rivers where
the fishing went beyond their wildest dreams. Soar with Wulff
through unpredictable mountain gusts, low over muskeg bogs, and
blind through thick fog and smothering darkness. Meet his sons,
Barry and Allan, and feel their father's pride as both become good
anglers and valuable contributors to the operation of the camps.
Get to know the warm, hard-working Newfoundlanders recruited as
guides and camp staff. And share salmon pools with some of World
War II's most notable generals, who fished with Lee during brief
breaks from the horrors of the European front. Bush Pilot Angler is
an unforgettable story of courage, flying, love, and fishing. It is
a fitting tribute to Lee Wulff, an extraordinary man who fought
tirelessly for the conversation of his beloved Atlantic salmon in
Newfoundland and throughout North America.
