Salmon-Fishing in Canada, by a Resident - With Illustrations Sir James Edward Alexander

Salmon is the name for several species of ray-finned fish in the family Salmonidae, which also includes trout, char, grayling and whitefish. Within this volume, the author presents a complete guide to salmon fishing in Canada, providing simple information and instructions on everything that a Canadian salmon fisher needs to know, including where to fish, best flies and equipment, Canadian fish, and more. Contents include: "Introductory and Egotistical", "Is there Salmon Fishing in Canada?", "What Flies are Suited for Canada", "How Are we to get to the Salmon Rivers in Canada?", "Which are the Salmon Rivers in Canada?", "A Sunday at the Saguenay", "Salmon Fishing in the Saguenay", "Salmon Fishing in the Tributaries of the Saguenay", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.
