Description
Gordon Davies is one of British Columbia's foremost anglers and outdoor story writers. In Living Rivers, Davies tells of fishing the great rivers of British Columbia. More than a book of fishing stories, Living Rivers also serves as a guide. Each chapter includes photographs, directions to the river and to the best fishing locations, the types of fish in the river, and the best ways to catch them. In sharing the lore and wisdom acquired from a lifetime of fishing, Davies may well prove to be Canada's Izaak Walton.

Person
Outdoor and travel writer, photographer, artist, musician, WWII veteran, and journeyman printer, Gordon Davies (1924- 2009) was a friend to every river he ever met. With his wife, Pauline (1924- 2007), and often with their youngest son, Rob, he explored and fished rivers from Yukon to Mexico. In the Living Rivers books, Davies showed us, in prose and photographs, how he felt about the streams of BC, his home province. Well-informed, concerned, caring, and with a wry wit, he leaves us in no doubt: he loved rivers.
