Zusammenfassung:	"Flowing through the stunning richness of British Columbia's temperate rain forest, the magnificent Bella Coola River is one of the world's celebrated fishing streams. In this poetic and powerful book, Mark Hume describes a year in the life of the river as he fly-fishes for the fairylike whitefish, the legendary bull trout, the spirited cutthroat or the elusive steelhead. Along the way he describes the incredible beauty and fecundity of the valley ecosystem through the seasons, examines what has happened to that increasingly endangered ecosystem and its inhabitants in recent times, and encounters other anglers, old-times who have fished the river for decades, and an abundance of wildlife." "The Bella Coola River is now closed to steelhead fishing because the stocks are endangered. River of the Angry Moon is thus a story of loss, human imperative, greed and shortsightedness, as well as a story about the changing seasons an angler experiences. Most of all, it is an eloquent and stirring tribute to a wild and beautiful river."--BOOK JACKET.
