A River Never Sleeps - Tapa dura

Few books have captured the haunting world and music of rivers, and of the sport they provide, as well as A River Never Sleeps. Roderick Haig-Brown writes of fishing not just as a sport, but as an art. He knows moving water and the life within it - its subtlest mysteries and perpetual delights. He is a man who knows fish lore as few people ever will, and the legends and history of a great sport.Month by month he takes you from river to river, down at last to salt water and the sea: in January, searching for the steelhead in the dark, cold water; in May, fishing for bright sea-run cutthroats; and on to the chill days of October and the majestic run of spawning salmon.A River Never Sleeps is one of the enduring classics of angling: it will prove a rich reading experience for all who love fishing or rivers.
