Summary:  Few books have captured the haunting world of music and rivers and of the sport they provide as well as A River Never Sleeps. Canadian writer and conservationist Roderick L. Haig-Brown writes of fishing not just as a sport, but also as an art. He knows moving water and the life within it - its subtlest mysteries and perpetual delights. He is a man who knows fish lore as few people ever will, and the legends and history of a great sport. Month by month, he takes you from river to river, down at last to the saltwater and the sea: in January, searching for the steelhead in the dark, cold water; in May, fishing for bright, sea-run cutthroats; and on to the chilly days of October and the majestic run of spawning salmon. All the great joy of angling is here: the thrill of fishing during a thunderstorm, the sight of a river in freshet or a river calm and hushed, the suspense of a skillful campaign to capture some half-glimpsed trout or salmon of extraordinary size, and the excitement of playing and landing a momentous fish. Roderick Haig-Brown published twenty-three books (five more were published posthumously) and wrote numerous articles and essays Holds:  0   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Item type Status   Central Library Adult Nonfiction 799.12 H149r Adult books Checked in Add Copy to MyList
