"Return to the River" remains one of the finest books ever written about the salmon and has won its place as an angler's and naturalist's classic. Haig-Brown captures the whole sweep of the chinook migration in every significant detail: the departure seaward of the millions of small fry in the spring of their second year, the saltwater life of the free-swimming schools in the deeps beyond Puget Sound, and the later return of the survivors.
