Harvest of Salmon: Adventures in Fishing the BC Coast

by Zoë Landale

This is the story of how a young couple who know nothing about fishing find themselves with a commercial salmon troller. The book recounts their transformation from amateurs to keen professionals. In addition, there are many stories and observations along the way on the life and hardships of professional fishers—particularly along the West Cost of Canada. The long hours, hard physical work and unpredictable weather are the reality behind the dream many people have of commercial fishing. However, what shines through is the enjoyment and pride that this particular fisher has in her work.
