I have just firiished reading a book that I would not
hesitate tot recommend to anyone. It would be of
special' interest to the fisherman as it captures the
moods and frustrations of this sport exceptionally well,
but even the non -fisherman will find itenthralling and
informative. It's called "Fisherman's Summer" by
Roderick Haig -Brown.
This is the first book I've ever read by Haig -Brown,
but it certainly, won't be the last.
Published in 1959 by William Collins Sons and Co.,
Toronto, "Fisherman's Summer" is only one of a
series of books written by Haig -Brown and deals with
• his belived Campbell River in British Columbia.
The Campbell, once a free running river, was the
object of a hydro electric power development that saw
several massive dams constructed along its length.
"Fisherman's Summer" , details the effects of these
dams on the spawning runs of salmon, rainbows, and
cutthroats from the eye of a master angler
Oddly enough, Haig -Brown makes some astute
observations and offers some solutions to problems
which we think are unique to -this day and age. Twenty
years, it seems, has had little impact on the way the
"people in,power" think.
If you happen across a book by Roderick Haig -
Brown, and if it's anything like "Fisherman's Spring",
you won't go too far wrong by buying it, Let me know if
you decide to get rid of it, as I'm bound to be a good
candidate. 'After this first one, I plan on reading his
complete series just as soon as I can.

It's surprising to most people, but the bottom line is
that Zebco sells more rods than any other company in
North America. There are other names that spring to
mind when fishing rods are discussed, but the bottom
line is that Zebco is right in there doing its thing quietly
and efficiently.
There is a guuu reason int 7.e -two's puinden ity. That is
excellent quality at a very competitive price. They
---offer four distinct series of rods with 45 different
choices in spinning and spin cast models, so there is the
perfect rod for everyone.
The newest line in Zebco rods is their Formula Z
Series which is made with a proven and time tested
graphite -glass mix. These tubular rods were scien-
tifically formulated and designed for greater power,
increased sensitivity and durability. Combine these
features with glass to glass ferrules and aluminum
oxide guides and tips, and you have a winning com-
bination.
Their "Pro Staff" series is a field tested and proven
phenolic fiberglass rod especially designed for the
f resh water angler. The highly developed butt taper
and tip action designs result in better casting and fish
playing actions; and less fatigue at the end of a long
day's angling.
Again, the Pro Staff series features glass to glass
ferrules and aluminurry oxide guides and tips for
superior casting qualities and less line wear.
The "Horizon" rods offer a complete selection of
fiberglass rods for fresh and saltwater fishing in all
actions, along with specialty rods for salmon and
steelhead. These rods also feature Zebco's famous
glass to glass ferrule and the freshwater rods have
ceramic guides and tips. The saltwater models have
chrome plated stainless wire frame guides and tips.
The "Sundowner" series proves that quality does not
have to be sacrificed to get economy. This new line of
tubular fiberglass rods builds great looks and action
into an affordable rod and still offers the expensive
features. Cer'arnic guides, chrome plated steel frames,
and glass to glass ferrules are all there for you to en-
j0y.
If you're thinking of a new rod, give Zebco a long
leek � I'm sure you'll find just the rod you're lookin^ Fen
it a price that will please you.
