Synopsis

A Man and His River is a love story, and a story of personal journey set on the banks of the Nitinat river on Vancouver Island. It is about the inherent and universal feeling of being near flowing water and the experiences of nature and wildlife that share the banks. This book is also a summary of the author’s lifetime of fishing Vancouver Islands 123 watersheds and the pursuits of its diversity of salmon and trout. While providing tales of wildlife encounters and big fish, the author also provides the reader with details on the various techniques and gear that can be employed on most rivers on the west coast. DC Reid is acknowledged as the writer who best exemplifies and extends the legacy of Roderick Haig-Brown, in the 21st century, and his latest work is his attempt to carry on that legacy.
