Customer Reviews

More pragmatic than poetic

Despite the title, this book is more pragmatic than poetic. He goes on a road trip to the Skeena watershed to sample the steelhead fishing. Having spent only a short time there, his story is more reportage than retrospective. I did learn some things new, however, and for anyone unfamiliar with the area or its history it is a good source. For something closer to the heart, Carey's North Bank, Haig-Brown, or McGuane might suit you better.
