They take us on a privileged tour of the wonderful realm of Atlantic salmon sport fishing, from its birthplace in Scotland to today's finest fishing waters in Russia.
Leaper brings together revered figures from fly-fishing's literary hall of fame and some of the best-known contemporary writers. Each has been selected for his ability to capture the ambience of these waters, the personalities of the people who fish them, and the appeal of the salmon that swim them.
