About the author
Robert H. Jones was a Canadian outdoor writer best known for books about fishing, especially in British Columbia. Sources for his 1995 book Tangled Lines and Patched Waders describe him as an award-winning writer whose articles and columns appeared in magazines across North America, including BC Outdoors, Western Outdoors, Ontario Out of Doors, and Canadian Fishing Annual.
He also edited Island Fisherman magazine and wrote or co-wrote practical guides such as Island Salmon Fisherman and Island Halibut Fisherman, books centered on Vancouver Island waters and the knowledge of experienced local anglers and guides. Another notable title, A Compendium of Canadian Fly Patterns, reflects his long interest in Canadian fly-fishing traditions.
Available book-page sources indicate that he lived in Courtenay, British Columbia, and that he passed away in August 2008. Across his work, he seems to have combined instruction with an easygoing storytelling style, making him appealing to both serious anglers and casual readers who enjoy outdoor adventure.
