About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

After his death in an airplane crash in 1991, Wulff's eulogists emphasized his salmon conservation work from among a lifetime of angling accomplishments. So this collection, spanning his writing on Atlantic salmon (including a few of his rare fiction pieces from the 1940s), will come as something of an epitaph. The stylish introduction by Nelson Bryant is like swallows over a stream: a promise of good fishing. Former Fly Fisherman managing editor Merwin's selections reflect Wulff's range as an angler and conservationist. The claim the subtitle makes for this pleasant little anthology of magazine pieces--"The Essential Wisdom and Lore from a Lifetime of Salmon Fishing"--however, was actually met by Wulff's The Atlantic Salmon, published in 1989. Still, this is a fitting farewell to a passionate, truly compleat angler.

From Library Journal:

The Atlantic salmon, arguably at the pinnacle of the salmonoid hierarchy, is a creature of unique characteristics--and woe betide any trout angler who approaches it as just another game fish. This posthumous collection of 30 previously published essays by one of the masters of the art pulls together enough well-written instruction to address a surprising gap in the practical literature. In recent years, only John Underwood & Ted Williams's Fishing "The Big Three" with Ted Williams ( LJ 9/1/82. o.p.) comes to mind approximating the same type of specificity (though more briefly). Recommended particularly for fishing collections in the Northeast and all others with a clientele (armchair or otherwise) who pursue the species.
