Here are thirty of Lee Wulff's finest essays on salmon: narrative accounts of trips to the most tantalizing waters in North America and beyond; ruminations on technique, equipment, and fly selection; spirited appreciations of the natural world (he was an environmentalist long before that word became popularized); advice to beginners and old hands on casting and reading a river. Wulff was the skilled tactician with an uncanny ability to get salmon to rise to his fly patterns, and he candidly explains his methods in these pages.
Like the best books, this one is apparently about one thing (fly-fishing for salmon) while it is really about something else (the love of life itself).

From the Publisher
The wisdom gleaned from sixty years of fishing for the greatest American game fish, the Atlantic salmon, is collected here in one entertaining and enlightening volume. Lee Wulff was recognized as the dean of American fly-fishing, and he told a story as well as he played a tricky fish. Filled with practical information and intriguing insights, this book - Wulff's last - is one every fly-fisherman will turn to again and again.
