Salmon Tactics by Percy Nobbs, 1934.
In 1934 Percy Nobbs published Salmon Tactics, his first of three books. His goal was to encourage the protection of salmon fishing in Atlantic Canada, which was already being threatened by the increase of hydro-electric dams and pollution. To further his cause, Percy also created the Atlantic Salmon Federation in 1948 which today is still an active and important organization funding research for salmon conservation and habits. In 1952 Percy earned the Outdoor Life Conservation award as the man who contributed most to the conservation of wildlife that year. (Greenwood Collection)
