One of the most prolific fly-fishing writers of the twentieth
century, Roderick L. Haig-Brown continues his "seasons" cycle with
Fisherman's Spring, a book that is as much about the deep
philosophical aspects of fly fishing as it is about fly fishing
itself. Readers will learn about the abundance of spring life in
the streams of British Columbia while also being treated to
Haig-Brown's thoughtful musings and ideas about the rewards of fly
fishing streams. Chapters readers will encounter include: Spring
Defined Early Cutthroat Lakes Fly Types The Secret Life Fishing and
the Common Man On Wading Fishermen and Forestry Fishing and
Milkmaids The Forecast Recognizing Birds Putting Fish Back A Boy
and a Fish Pole And many more Discover within these pages how fly
fishing can enrich life and bring joy to every fisher. Both novices
and experts alike will find a wealth of knowledge in Fisherman's
Spring. Originally published in 1964, Fisherman's Fall brings a
unique perspective to the world of fall fishing. In the preface,
Robert L. Haig-Brown ruminates on the attempts to preserve the
salmon and trout in the rivers of British Columbia. What we know
could save them, yet what we do contradicts that knowledge. Gaining
the knowledge in this book will help fishers learn the nature of
the fish and might even inspire some to contribute to their
preservation. Fisherman's Fall gives fishers all the tools to
become adept at fishing the rivers of British Columbia as well as
firsthand knowledge of the fish of those rivers and their habits.
In fabulous prose, readers will discover the unique fishing facts
and techniques that accompany the fall season, differences between
salmon in salt water and fresh water, the ocean years of salmon,
the nature of estuaries, steelhead mysteries, and what makes an
ideal stream. Besides gathering wise information, readers get to
glimpse the inner thoughts of a fisherman in the chapters of
Haig-Brown's own thoughts while fishing. These wise words will
speak to any fisher, and they will even speak to those who have
never been on a river. Combining angling advice and inner
reflection, this book is a must-have for fishermen and fisherwomen
of all ages. Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range
