Customer Reviews:
A true angling/flying adventure     
This book is quite awesome!

The book takes you through Lee Wulff's life as a fishing camp owner/pilot and true poineer in fishing in Canada, both the flying and his flying and ideas on stock conservation. The book is written with the feel that it is almost a diary but has a much better flow to it that diaries have.

The author was an amazing person and is able to put across to the reader his experiences in learning to fly (very quickly), the more memorable flights that he experienced and some of the amazing fishing that he was able to encounter. He also laments the decline of fishing in some of the areas where people have ignored his plea for stricter conservation methods to maintain the fishing and late in the book highlights some of the regions that have introduced catch and release or catch limits.

This book is an easy read but I could still feel the excitement of flying into wilderness areas in difficult conditions and then the prize of unspoilt fishing and wilderness on arrival. A true adventure!!

This would be a great birthday/Christmas/Father's day/Mother's day present for any angler or pilot who crave more than the traditional books on modern day fishing and flying or for anyone who enjoys Haig-Brown or books like Three Against the Wilderness or Tam Tain's Trout book, to name of few of the older (and in my opinion classic) wilderness/fishing books.

A overview of fishing, conservation, aviation human nature     
The late Lee Wulff continues to instruct! If you appreciate flyfishing from a learned conservationist's point of view, read on. If seat-of-pants aviation in the days of primitive meteorolgy grabs your attention, hold on. If a study of human nature from an extremely creative fishing guide/aviator/educator's perspective is your cup of tea, a whole pot is yours for the enjoyment and enlightment, drink on! As a 30+ year fishing guide in bush Alaska, I've never read a book which inadvertently speaks more eloquently to Alaskans, yea, world citizens regarding the need to protect our anadromous fish stocks. Board members, conservation committee appointees, anyone in a fisheries decision making role from the Kamchatka peninsula east to Norway should pay heed to what has happened and is continuing to happen to the world's supply of Atlantic Salmon. They can and no better foundation is laid for that understanding than that that is told from the point of view of this courageous lover of salmo salar who wanted nothing more than to share his love of this fabulous creature with the world and larger angling community.
