Description
The second volume of Gordon Davies' collection of stories features the rivers of British Columbia and the Yukon. Travelling from the turbulent Yukon in the far north to the streams flowing into Washington State, Davies acts as a guide to fisher and non-fisher alike.
The avid fisherman will find information about the types of fish in each river as well as suggestions as to the best lures and bait. The non-fisherman will find a wealth of material about the life of the rivers and interesting sites along their banks. With its many maps, lists of directions and superb photos, The Living Rivers is a book to delight all those interested in the outdoors.
Contributor Notes
Outdoor and travel writer, photographer, artist, musician, WWII veteran, and journeyman printer, Gordon Davies (19242009) was a friend to every river he ever met. With his wife, Pauline (19242007), and often with their youngest son, Rob, he explored and fished rivers from Yukon to Mexico. In the Living Rivers books, Davies showed us, in prose and photographs, how he felt about the streams of BC, his home province. Well-informed, concerned, caring, and with a wry wit, he leaves us in no doubt: he loved rivers.
