Overview
Daybreak on Vancouver Island's Campbell River arrives with cold air and steam off the water. At first light, dozens of fishermen lineup on the docks with little fanfare and enormous hope in their hearts. On signal, those with reservations board small Boston whalers and depart from the docks.So begins the quest for salmon, one of the several varieties of fishing covered in Fishing Camps. Ralph Kylloe transports readers to fishing camps all over North America through his experiences--experiences as varied as encountering a rattlesnake while fly-fishing in Colorado, battling king salmon in Vancouver, coming face-to-face with a full-grown alligator in Florida's Lake Okeechobee, and fighting the aggressive muskie in New York.
In addition to entertaining fish stories, Fishing Camps provides valuable information about several camps to fishers or would-be fishers. Along with complete address and phone information, Kylloe describes the camps, their food services and sleeping accommodations, entertainment (besides fishing), and the decor and ambiance of each specific camp.
From fishing camps to fish stories, Fishing Camps is a must-have for any reader who is drawn to the romance of fishing.
