The Western Angler

The Western Angler, by Roderick Haig-Brown.

The Western Angler is a collection of essays and reflections from Roderick Haig-Brown, one of the most respected voices in angling literature. First published in 1939, this book is not merely a "how-to" guide but a deep meditation on the philosophy of fly fishing and the conservation of wild spaces in the Pacific Northwest. Haig-Brown writes with a profound respect for the environment, sharing his insights on trout and salmon, the rivers they inhabit, and the ethics of sport fishing.

The book beautifully captures the rhythm of life on a river and the unique challenges and rewards of fishing in the western wilderness. "The Western Angler" is an essential read for anyone who wants to connect more deeply with the natural world and understand the enduring allure of fly fishing. It's a timeless classic that celebrates the quiet joy and intellectual pursuit of the sport.
