"A salmon fishing book of great charm and rarity...The total number of salmon for the week for the party was 192. The book is most interesting because it contains accounts of the same trip by all 5 members of the party - they vary widely in style and content from straight facts and figures to lyrical and poetic evocations. The last piece...is particularly fine..." - from Charles Wood, in "More Privately Printed Books on Atlantic Salmon Fishing," third in a series of articles in the Atlantic Salmon Journal). Inscribed on the front free endpaper by Sir V. Bessburough: "Though these fish may seem to you but minnows, the story of our trip may none the less amuse you."
