Fishing in British Columbia With a Chapter on Tuna Fishing at Santa Catalina
by Thomas Wilson Lambert
About the author
Little biographical information about this author is easy to confirm, but his surviving reputation rests on Fishing in British Columbia, first published in 1907. The book is an early guide to sport fishing in the province and includes a chapter on tuna fishing at Santa Catalina, showing the wide range of waters and techniques that interested him.
His writing blends hands-on instruction with descriptive passages about fish, landscapes, and the experience of being outdoors. That combination gives the book value both as a practical period guide and as a snapshot of recreational fishing in the early twentieth century.
Today, Lambert is best known because the book has remained available through public-domain and reprint editions. Even with so few confirmed personal details, the work itself leaves a clear impression of an observant, enthusiastic angler who wanted to share the pleasures of fishing in western waters.
