Description:
46 p. : col. ill. ; 31 cm.
Summary:
"Gubby is a
salmon
fisherman who lives with his wife Millie and cat Puss in a small seaside village on the west coast of
British
Columbia
. He keeps his boat, the Flounder
--
a 36-foot west coast
salmon
troller--at a local wharf with many other boats. Gubby's journey first takes him up BC's west coast, through Georgia, Johnstone and Queen Charlotte straits and north past Port Hardy. He then heads into the open ocean towards treacherous Cape Scott, through to Winter Harbour and Quatsino Sound to settle in for a summer of fishing. Gubby and Puss face rolling rapids, rough and tumble storms and banks of fog, tussle with a basking shark and a pod of orcas, all while trolling for spring and coho
salmon
and visiting other fishermen and homesteaders along the way. Part graphic novel and part ocean adventure story in the style of Raymond Briggs, Fishing with Gubby not only depicts the salty B.C. coast, it captures the vanishing "golden age" when fishing was more than just a job
--
it was a way of life." --From the publisher.
