Notes

Haig-Brown, Roderick (1908–1976). English-born Canadian author, magistrate, and pioneering conservationist. Emigrated to British Columbia in the late 1920s, settling permanently in Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Best known for his non-fiction on angling and the natural world, Haig-Brown combined literary craft with a deeply held environmental ethic. He published extensively between the 1930s and 1970s. 

Fisherman’s Spring.
First published in 1951, this volume is a title in Haig-Brown’s seasonal angling quartet. With spring as its backdrop, the author reflects on the resurgence of river life in British Columbia, the rhythms of trout and salmon, and the ethical dimension of the angler’s practice. Comprising essays both practical and meditative, the work blends personal anecdote, natural history, and environmental insight in Haig-Brown’s plain yet evocative prose.
