About this book
Rainbow trout and the waters they inhabit take centre stage in Thomas Wilson Lambert's account of angling in British Columbia. Drawing on twelve years in the region's interior, he describes lakes, rivers, fish habits and the practical arrangements of a fishing trip. The Shuswap Lake and Thompson River district receives particular attention, alongside advice on rail access, accommodation and choosing an outfit suited to local conditions.
Published in 1907, the book combines practical guidance with personal recollection. Lambert recalls fishing the Coquehalla, where a large trout sprang at a smaller fish near his feet, and discusses other waters around Vancouver and Harrison Lake. He also records damage to rivers from commercial activity and calls for better protection. Readers interested in angling history will find a picture of fishing travel at a time when expanding railways were opening more of the region to visitors.
