The Habits Of The Salmon Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Habits of the Salmon Perhaps it is unnecessary for me to offer any elaborate excuse for coming forward with another book about salmon. Of all the fish that fall victims to our skill, salmon are the most interesting by reason of their size, strength, and gameness, the difficulty of their capture, and the romantic scenery of the districts in which, during their periodical returns to fresh water, we have to seek them. Nor, in view of its gastronomic excellence, its rapid growth and great fertility, will the economist cease to remind us that the salmon is an important article of food, and of great commercial value.
