Bristol Bay in Southwest Alaska is one of the great commercial fisheries on earth. More than half of the world's sockeye salmon return to "The Bay" every year. Sailing for Salmon is a nostalgic look back, through photographs and recollections, on the "sailboat days," a time when these salmon were harvested from sailboats - a time still within living memory. These sailboats, called Bristol Bay double-enders, were well-crafted and beautiful, but obsolete for most of their history. The use of motorized fishing vessels was finally allowed in 1951. The Bristol Bay commercial fishery has changed much since then, but the sailboat remains the iconic image of a fishery born on the wind.

For three years, the author fished commercially for the mighty Atlantic salmon out of a remote fishing station on the west coast of Scotland, working in what would turn out to be a declining inshore fishery. This book is, in part, a poem to Salmo salar, the fabulous leaper of the title, and is also an account of everyday life in this remote and beautiful part of the British Isles. Killer whales, basking sharks, and a hundred other creatures swim into view in this fascinating narrative, not least of which are the hilarious local Highland characters. It needed recording and has been done with great charm.
