Descripción

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (New, Hardcover, 2010). 2010 1st edition. Large 4to (210 x 277mm). Pp192. Colour & sepia photographs throughout. Brown cloth, spine titled in gilt. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper. In The Domesday Book of Giant Salmon, Fred Buller gave accounts of 170 fly-caught fish of over 50lb, and of 152 fish weighing over sixty pounds whether caught by fly, bait, net or poaching. As a result of the first volume's publication, yet more extraordinary salmon catches have come to light. In this new second volume, Buller collects the tales of capture of yet more Atlantic salmon over 50lb caught in Europe and North America, including those caught on the fly, by rod, or by other means. Each capture is carefully researched and examined for veracity, and confusions dismembered. All the case histories feature original photographs where available of the catches, their locations, the fishermen, and irreplaceable artefacts; along with snippets of fascinating background information. Much of the book is a testament to a world that has almost disappeared - of great catches and huge fish taken on legendary rivers: the Grand Cascapedia, Restigouche, Tay, Alten, Namsen and Vosso in their heyday between 1880 and 1930.
