About This Book
A first-person travel diary of two autumn sporting expeditions, combining practical field notes with landscape description. The narrative follows journeys to rivers, lakes and backcountry where the author fishes for large salmon and cohoe and hunts game such as wapiti, mountain goat and caribou, recounting camps, boatwork, packing and methods. Technical sections discuss tackle and techniques, while travel passages record routes, weather, coastal and mountain scenery, encounters at small settlements and aspects of local life. Maps, sketches and photographs are interspersed to illustrate camps, shorelines and hunting and fishing scenes, offering both guidance and atmospheric detail for prospective visitors.
