Home Waters: Oregon Coastal Treasure

By Jay W. Nicholas

This short story celebrates our resilient wild salmon, explores the anglers who pursue these fish from season to season, and issues a caution. From the Nehalem to the Chetco, the strong runs of 2013 - 2015 are but a high point in the cycle of the salmon's abundance. We must continually strive to protect the relatively healthy runs of wild and hatchery fish that we have so long taken for granted.With a Foreword by Frank Moore, iconic Oregon angler and resource steward, this story is accompanied by my original photos of Chinook salmon and the salmon's coastal Home Waters. Frank Moore says, "Home Waters is engaging, astute, and thought provoking. Jay's story paints the vivid picture of anglers, the challenges faced by wild and hatchery salmon, and productive rivers we often take for granted. Whether or not these are your own home waters, you'll be thoroughly fascinated by Jay's story and photography.PLEASE NOTE: I encourage you to take this soft cover book to someplace like Office Max or Kinkos to have it spiral bound with plastic cover. This is inexpensive and allows you to lay the book flat on a desk and prolongs the "like new" look of the book. Thanks very much.
