Chalmers' lyric pen on salmon fishing. Delightful anecdote and a little verse. "How rarely it is that we come across a man who, having made a lifelong study of a thing, can write about it with the most gifted of pens. Mr. Patrick R. Chalmers is one of these lucky people; for not only has he been acclaimed (by one of the most influential journalists of our times) as one of the most brilliant writers on field sports to-day, but he has been a salmon fisher all his life. Indeed it might be said that he was bred to the river; in this book he tells how as a small boy he watched his father catching salmon on one of those red-letter days which occur all too rarely. He has caught salmon in many rivers and under many conditions, and his adventures comprise a world of experience from which every man who wields a salmon rod can cull hints and instruction."
