All our five species of Pacific salmon come home then except for a few early-running chinooks and cohos. Most of the winter-spawning cutthroat trout run into their rivers then. The last of the summer-run steelhead and the first of the winter runs almost close the gap between themselves. It is the liveliest, most exciting time of all the year. Gulls and eagles, goldeneyes and mergansers, bears and mink and raccoons all come down to the rivers." And anglers. Chapters include: The scene: Fall defined. Pacific Salmon: Origins; A word for the small streams; New horizons; Pacific salmon in salt water; Pacific salmon in fresh water; Big fish and fresh water; The ocean years; The energy of salmon; The death of the salmon.
