Fishing in British Columbia With a Chapter on Tuna Fishing at Santa Catalina
by Thomas Wilson Lambert
About the author
Thomas Wilson Lambert is known for Fishing in British Columbia: With a Chapter on Tuna Fishing at Santa Catalina, a book first published in 1907. The surviving public record available online is quite thin, so much of what can be said with confidence comes from that work and later library and bookseller listings.
His book presents British Columbia as a rich destination for anglers and blends practical information with a clear personal affection for the region's fishing life. The added section on tuna fishing at Santa Catalina suggests interests that reached beyond inland waters and gives the book a wider sporting flavor.
Because reliable biographical sources are limited, details about Lambert's life are not easy to confirm. What remains clear is that his writing has lasted mainly through this enduring fishing guide, which continues to attract readers interested in outdoor history, classic angling, and British Columbia's past.
