From Library Journal
Atkinson's photographs of scenic fishing locales are extraordinary compositions showing off the natural beauty that abounds in and near streams, rivers, and lakes on several continents. The pictures in this book are wonderfully complemented by previously published but regionally relevant articles and stories by distinguished writers such as Tom McGuane and Ernest Schwiebert. Thus, an excerpt from Zane Grey's Tales of the Angler's Eldorado (1926) about trout fishing in New Zealand is accompanied by breathtaking photos taken there and captioned by Atkinson. Other countries extolled for their picturesque waters span North and South America and much of Europe, including Great Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, and Russia. Recommended for public libraries and coffee tables everywhere.?Will Hepfer, SUNY at Buffalo Libs.

Product Description
Trout and salmon, the aristocracy of freshwater game fish, can be found from the beautiful West Coast to New Zealand to Russia to the mighty rivers of Norway. In this stunning full-color book, Val Atkinson has captured with inimitable skill the beauty of the trout and salmon landscape--quietly gurgling streams, secret river pools, broad mirror-like lakes. Complementing Atkinson's photographs are both contemporary and classic essays by twelve writers from fly fishing's literary hall of fame: Zane Grey, Negley Farson, Tom McGuane, and John Gierach, to name a few. Their destinations: England, Chile, Argentina, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, Alaska, Scotland, Iceland, Russia, Norway, and the United States. Each essay is followed by a fact file on the corresponding destination, including a map, advice on when and where to go, strategies for success, and which tackle and flies to use. R. Valentine Atkinson is an internationally acclaimed and widely published photographer who specializes in fly fishing worldwide. His most recent book is the much acclaimed Distant Waters. He lives in San Francisco, California.
