"Arthur Ransome wrote, 'We do not know for certain whither they go [migrating salmon], though it does at least seem that we may be on the point of finding out.' Alas, we have found out and we are none the better for it. Man's greed is getting the better of him and our salmon are now being taken on their feeding grounds. It is the fervent desire of all of us concerned with salmon conservation to see that reason prevails, otherwise there will be no more salmon ...returning to the Tweed or Spey, to any other river for that matter." Chapters include: The Atlantic salmon; The life story; Scotch salmon; Catching salmon - methods ancient and modern; Struggle for survival; In perpetuity; Resolution; Reading list.
