Summary: A wonderful fishing memoir
Review: Salmon Camp: The Boland Brook Story is the fascinating true story of a small family fishing camp, never operated as a club or commercial venture. In the 1930s, a young woman named Katharine Parsons acquired a stretch of land with a mile and a quarter of Atlantic salmon river running through it, constructed Boland Brook Camp, an oversaw it for years until her nephew inherited it after her passing in 1993. Her nephew recounts a detailed and flavorful history of the camp, the people who fished there, the experience of angling on the Upsalquitch River, and more, illustrated with black-and-white and color photographs. A wonderful fishing memoir sure to appeal to enthusiasts of the sport.

Summary: A Unique Salmon Fishing History
Review: This is a very special and personal history of a unique Salmon Fishing Camp covering 65 years of kinship with a determined, courageous, and exceptional woman who, against all odds, built a remarkable Canadian summer retreat which she generously shared with family and close friends. This fascinating book reveals much about life at the isolated camp and fishing on the beautifil Upsalquitch River. It paints a vivid picture of comittment and comaraderie between Miss Parsons, her guests. and the devoted staff in a most affectionate and conversational manner. I recommend this book to anyone who responds to the magic
of Salmon Fishing. Joan Gilbert
