An end to Roderick L. Haig-Brown’s “seasons” cycle

Fisherman’s Summer is a book that can be read again and again, for both knowledge and pleasure. In this installment, he focuses again on the rivers of his native British Columbia such as the Campbell, the Columbia, and the Nimpkish. Among his vast wealth of knowledge concerning fly fishing, readers are also exposed to his wise reflections. His discussions of the past fishermen of these rivers, including Native Americans and pioneers, and his hope that the future of these rivers will remain abundant and full of life, will touch the hearts of fishers and non-fishers alike.

Chapters included are:

  • Summer Defined
  • The Indian and Me
  • The Beginning of Change
  • The Dry Fly and Very Fast Water
  • Standard-Bearer—Arctic
  • Fish Derbies
  • The Great Destroyers
  • The Beaches
  • Tsable River
  • Blackhole
  • And many more

Within these pages are the exciting angling stories of an expert flyfisherman, laced with thoughtful reflections and musings, all of which showcase Haig-Brown as the excellent writer and flyfisherman that he was.
