Excerpt from Secrets of the Salmon
Of all kinds of fishing practised in all parts of the world, salmon fishing is still generally regarded as the most interesting. This sport is so ancient that a lore has grown up about it and customs and methods have become so fixed that it seems almost a sacrilege to change them, or to attempt anything in the way of innovation. Being an inventor by inheritance, nature, and profession, I happen to be one of those who have no regard for convention, or what others do, unless it appeals to my sense of what is right and reasonable for the result to be accomplished, and it was in this spirit that I approached salmon fishing. My object was to hook and play the fish on an artificial fly, no matter how it was accomplished and whether I followed the accepted customs or not.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of salmon fishing, a sport steeped in tradition and lore. The author, a self-proclaimed inventor with little regard for convention, offers a fresh perspective on this age-old pursuit, challenging accepted practices and exploring new methods for hooking and playing the elusive salmon. The book's central argument hinges on the importance of understanding the psychology of salmon, arguing that their behavior is not merely governed by instinct but also influenced by past experiences and the environment. The author meticulously examines the life cycle of the salmon, from its parr stage in freshwater to its migration to the sea and eventual return to spawn, providing detailed insights into their feeding habits and the factors that influence their movement. In a unique twist, the author uses his own experiences as an inventor to highlight the persistence of habits and their influence on behavior, drawing a parallel between his own involuntary actions and the salmonââ â¢s seemingly inexplicable reactions to flies. Through a combination of scientific observation and personal anecdotes, the book challenges conventional notions about salmon fishing and presents a new approach to the sport, emphasizing the importance of understanding the fishââ â¢s perspective and adapting methods accordingly. Ultimately, the book offers a compelling argument for a more scientific and thoughtful approach to salmon fishing, urging anglers to embrace innovation and challenge the status quo.
