"Everything from the fish's natural history to what makes it rise and how to catch it."--Fly Fisherman
From the Back Cover
The Atlantic salmon is the king of game fish. Sleek and silvery, an astonishing leaper, paradoxical in his habits and behavior and electrifying when hooked, Salmo salar is the ultimate angling quarry. And now, at last, we have a thoroughly revised and updated version of the classic 1958 book on this great game fish by one of the world's leading anglers. It is graced by scores of new photographs, drawings by the author, and several important new chapters. Lee Wulff provides expert advice on all phases of this great sport - tackle, casting, presentation of both wet and dry flies, fly selection, wading, where fish lie and how to make them strike, and how best to land salmon. (Much of what Wulff says is applicable to all forms of fly fishing.) There are shrewd and telling observations on the biology and ecology of the salmon, and strong, measured advice on how salmon fishing can be protected and improved, so that thousands of new anglers can share the pleasures of this exciting brand of fishing. Throughout the book, there is a wealth of fascinating stories from the author's fifty years of salmon fishing throughout the world - and at the end, a stirring new account of Wulff's pioneering flights, in the thirties, in a single-engine plane, in search of salmon. Not merely for those who have fished for salmon but for the legions of fly fishermen who dream of doing so and who may eventually realize their dreams, The Atlantic Salmon is a rich, classic book not to be missed.

THE ATLANTIC SALMON,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Atlantic Salmon (Hardcover)
This is by far the most enjoyable book on Atlantic Salmon i've read and I have many. Wulff helps us learn all we need to know about the fish and how to angle it under all possible conditions. At the time of the second edition in 1983 the guy had 50 years experience in fishing for & attempting to preserve the most wonderful of all game fish. He also tells stories of flying to the wilderness of Northern Newfoundland & Labradorin search of prime places to fish for salmon which paint pictures of what it must have been like at a time when the fish stocks were still healthy and the wilderness unspoiled. There are 8 pages of color pictures & lots of fabulous black & whites. If theres one book to have on the subject, this is the one.
