He was a man who knew fish lore as few men ever will, and the legends and history of a great sport. Month by month, from January, searching for steelhead in the dark, cold water, to May and the sea-run cutthroat, to the October run of spawning salmon, this book takes you from river to river, down at last to salt water and the sear. "A River Never Sleeps" is one of the enduring classics of angling; a reach reading experience for all who love fishing or rivers."
