” Eb and I chose a pond about half a mile wide, landed, and taxied to the outlet. The shore was rocky, but the wind was light. I jumped off the floats when the water was knee deep and waded the plane to shore. We lifted one float up on a big flat rock and tied two lines to trees on the shore to hold the cub steady.  My rod came out of its usual place, and with a box of  flies in my pocket I was ready to fish”    Lee Wulff

  We all know of Lee Wulff as the founder of ‘catch and release’ and an avid devotee of Salmo salar, the Atlantic salmon. He was, and will most likely remain the preeminent fly fisherman of all time. ‘Bush Pilot Angler’ ,a memoir by Lee Wulff  published after his death, focuses on his early days operating salmon camps in Newfoundland and his first experiences exploring new fishing localities via float equipped aircraft. For those interested in either aviation or fly fishing ,this book will stir the inkling to get out and explore new waters.  Down East Books. ISBN 0-89272-480-3
