The ambience of Atlantic salmon fishing captured in words and pictures – the rich history, the stunning scenery, the thrill of the quest. From the wilds of Canada to the mighty rivers of Norway and Russia, the noble quest for Atlantic salmon binds anglers in a unique spiritual kinship. In this book Charles Gaines and Monte Burke travel “in search of silver”, heading a team of the greatest fly-fishing writers to take us on a privileged tour of the wonderful realm of Atlantic salmon fishing, from its birthplace in Scotland to some of today’s finest fishing waters in Russia. The beautiful paintings, photographs and engravings in this book offer us a glimpse of the special places which have drawn the Atlantic salmon back each year from far afield. In Search of Silver is published in association with the Atlantic Salmon Federation and in cooperation with the Atlantic Salmon Trust, the two leading Atlantic salmon conservation organizations. Charles Gaines’ first novel Stay Hungry was shortlisted for the 1972 US National Book Award. His most recent book is The Next Valley Over: An Angler’s Progress. Monte Burke is a reporter at Forbes and a former editor at Sports Afield. His work has also appeared in Men’s Journal, Town and Country, Audubon and Gray’s Sporting Journal.
