Columbia Basin Hunting & Fishing Beginning 1943

The contents of this book describe just some of the many hunting and fishing memories of the author. This book fills in the years when our younger sportsmen were not around and brings back fond memories of years gone by for older sportsmen. "What was the hunting and fishing like in the forties and fifties?" Few younger sportsmen have not given this some thought. I have tried to turn back the clock to those years, with some of my experiences. Belonging to a family who pursued hunting and fishing to the extreme, I have tried to describe from 1943 until today. This is how it was, from someone who was involved in this pursuit on a daily basis rather than someone who participated on the weekends or opening days. Although the geographic area covered in this book is "The Columbia Basin," in the northwest, I am sure that fishermen everywhere can relate to its contents. What was to be lost memories, is now history.
