Fishing in British Columbia With a Chapter on Tuna Fishing at Santa Catalina

A vivid portrait of British Columbia’s wild waterways invites anglers to explore a region that was once almost inaccessible. The author, drawing on twelve years of firsthand experience, describes the province’s rugged coastlines, pine‑filled valleys and crystal‑clear lakes that now lie just a train ride away. Readers learn how the climate shifts from sun‑kissed plateaus reminiscent of Southern California to coastal winters as gentle as Devon, setting the stage for a diverse fishing adventure.

The book focuses especially on the native rainbow trout, detailing its habits, preferred habitats and the unique sport it offers. Alongside practical tips on tackling salmon and other Pacific species, it sketches the early days of settlement, the promise of hatchery experiments, and the untapped potential for both naturalists and sport fishers. Listeners will come away with a clear sense of why these waters, still largely untouched, remain a treasure for anyone eager to cast a line in a truly spectacular landscape.
