"NASF is commemorating the reversal of the decline of a wonderful species by the publication of this book which depicts, in pictures and words, over fifty of the finest Atlantic salmon rivers." --Orri Vigusson, Founder and Chairman of NASF

 

"This book gives a sense of what it feels like to be on a splendid river experiencing its unique and fascinating qualities." --Paul Volcker

 

A Celebration of Salmon Rivers is devoted to the Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, and the magnificent rivers it inhabits. The book depicts more than 50 of the finest Atlantic salmon rivers, each described by those familiar with it and committed to maintaining and preserving it. Here in one book are all the salmon rivers fly fishermen dream of fishing--the Alta, the Laerdal, the Spey, the Dee, the Moy, the Big Laxa, the Ponoi, the Kharlovka, and the great rivers of Canada. No other book has come close to capturing so many wonderful rivers, many of which are remote and exclusive and have never been seen in published photographs.

 

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

The North Atlantic Salmon Fund (NASF) was founded in 1989 by Orri Vigusson when wild salmon from rivers on both sides of the Atlantic were in dangerous decline. Since then the organization has raised nearly $30 million to buy out netting rights and excessive exploitation so that future generations will know and appreciate the beauty and strength of the wild Atlantic salmon. R. Randolph Ashton lives in Ketchum, Idaho.
