4.0 out of 5 stars
Solidly written book on fishing
Ill keep this brief. The book has many sections ranging from basic trips out on the grounds, to harrowing tales of lost life and salvation. Also, to those who are very interested in the innerworkings of the industry, there are some gray areas that are cleared up in a rather dry but informative chapter. I reccomend it to fans of Spike Walker's books...

A good overview of fishing in Alaska
This book has a board view of fishing in Alaska. Unlike other books I have read on crabbing in Alaska this book tells about crabbing, salmon fishing, dragging and how the fishing in Alaska has changed over the years. It is a good overview of the fishing industry, but lacks the exciting tales told in Spike Walkers books on the Alaskan crab boom of the late seventies.

Good read,
This review is from: Fishing Up North: Stories of Luck and Loss in Alaskan Waters (Paperback)
An intimate look at what it is like to spend your life chasing fish. Matsen's experience inside the industry gives a hard look at the reality of long hours, tight quarters and the gamble of the catch. Tight prose pack a lot of information.
