Format:Hardcover
Most books on salmon fall into one of two categories. How to catch them, or rather dry scientific descriptions of their life cycle. Malcolm Greenhalgh is well known to game anglers, but his description here of the salmon's extraordinary return journey from stream to sea is very concise and readable with new scientific research included in a far from dry style. The words are complemented on every page with wonderfully detailed paintings by Rod Sutterby. He must be Britain's foremost painter and illustrator of our country's game fish. This book should appeal to naturalists, anglers and anyone with an interest in these remarkable fish. Buy it.

Format:Hardcover
Authoritative text full of truly useful information on the salmon and salmon fishing. Superbly illustrated by Rod Sutterby. Illustrations vary from the detailed, anatomically accurate through to wonderfully evocative more impressionistic paintings of 'salmon by moonlight' and 'salmon on the redds'. Marvellous book.

A Very Pleasant surprise

I saw this book in a fly tackle shop a month or so ago, took a quick look, and decided to buy it through Amazon (used,at a ridculously low price). My copy arrived today and, after leafing through it, I would extend kudos to the author, illustrator, and publisher. What a wonderful book!!!! A lavishly illustrated life history of the world's greatest freshwater game fish. Perhaps this book will help more humans realize what a marvelous natural treasure this fish is.
