This is a very well-done book on great salmon rivers of the world. Many of the profiles of the rivers are written by famous individuals with a connection to one of the rivers. While the pieces are well-written, they are hardly information packed or even... It's not a guidebook, but a book that "celebrates" Atlantic Salmon Rivers. Worth adding to you Salmon Foshing Collection.......

Although I do not profit from the sale of this historic book, I had one incredible adventure after another while working on this project. It's crazy for me to think that I have been to more Atlantic Salmon Rivers than anyone else in the world. Each river was absolutely stunning! I hope I have done justice to the many beautiful areas of the world I was so fortunate to visit and photograph.
The writing in the book is spectacular. A number of famous authors contributed pieces such as Thomas McGuane, Paul Volker, Pelle Klippinge and the list goes on.
A Celebration of Salmon Rivers is about the famous Atlantic salmon fish and the even more famous rivers they inhabit.
I photographed over 60 rivers during a two-year span. It was a dream come true and I thank Orri Vigfusson, Chairman of the NASF for another incredible opportunity to show my work. Please help Orri and the NASF save wild Atlantic salmon with the purchase of this incredible collection of work.

I gave this book as a gift to a friend who has fished the rivers in Russia. While I didn't have time to read the copy, I did look through all the photographs. Frankly, they were a little disappointing. Many seemed like little more than snapshots, underexposed or muddy. That being said, my friend was delighted to find his own river in the book, although he laughed that all the descriptions said that all the rivers were "the best fishing in the world."
