Grand Cascapedia Giants
by Ronald S. Swanson

Introduction by Hoagy B. Carmichael

The Grand Cascapedia River has always been known for its large, trophy Atlantic salmon. Beginning in the mid-1800s, adventurous anglers discovered these fish, many building elegant private camps and lodges, and the rush of prominent, often quirky and obsessive personalities was on - forming a tapestry of Atlantic salmon lore as rich as the river itself.

Ron Swanson documents this distinctive culture of the Grand Cascapedia through its record fish. Arranged in descending order by weight, each record fish is described, and most are portrayed in very rare photographs - of the fish itself, of fish mounts, of fish models, and of the associated anglers, guides and camps. With the addition of some stunning Cascapedia River artwork, this book becomes a unique portrait of the grandest salmon river in North America.
