Summary:
For hundred of thousands of anglers who regularly fish the rivers and lakes of western Canada, the waters of the region represent a veritable paradise - home to an astonishing variety of species, full of fight and flavor. Here is a guide to this fish-filled region for anglers of every level of skill. In addition to a wealth of fishing tips and techniques, keyed to each species, "Fishing in the West" tells you how to prepare and cook your catch (including some tried and true methods of freezing, smoking, and canning), offers a list of accommodation and maps for every region, and even includes an amusing selection of folklore which reveals the humorous side of a sport renowned for its exaggeration. More than one hundred lakes and rivers in each province are listed, from the teeming waters where northern pike feed voraciously, to the mile-high lakes which are home to the tenacious cutthroat trout, to the deep pre-Cambrian lakes inhabited by the prized lake trout and walleye. Whether you are a master angler with a string of trophies or a weekend beginner with your first rod and reel, "Fishing in the West" will add to your enjoyment of this exciting and challenging sport.
