“In Fishing Country” is a vintage book on fishing in Canada, particularly in Quebec and Montreal. Rather than being a typical handbook or guide, this volume is more of an informal discourse on the places and people, describing where, when, and why as opposed to how and for what. An interesting and informative read, “In Fishing Country” will appeal to Canadian anglers and those with an interest in angling in these beautiful areas. Contents include: “Old Murray Bay”, “Lac Emmuraillé”, “The Queteux”, “Proving the Rule”, “The River”, “Jack-o'-Lantern”, “T——”, “N——”, “Ways and Means”, “The Brook Trout”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.

"Fishing With Hyenas" is a love story between girlie girl Theresa and commercial fisherman Captain Bart, who convinces her to crew on a ninety-two-foot tuna boat plying the North Pacific Ocean. Trading cashmere and high heels for raingear and rubber boots, she becomes a deckhand, confined for three months at a time, thousands of miles from anywhere. Bart's tight group of fishermen--the Hyenas--become her extended family, but no one explains what appalling weather and hauling thousands of pounds of tuna would do to her hands.Or to her heart. Or to her mind. After nine months on the water, Theresa returns to life on land. But when Bart finds another tuna boat, he heads back out to Mother Ocean. "See you soon," are the last words he says to her. Three days later, Bart dies of a massive heart attack. Grief, financial devastation, and a lawsuit follow, but it is the family of Hyenas who help her pull through. "Fishing With Hyenas" is the true story of how it all started and the tale of what happened next.
