Beautiful nature writing about a canoe journey Weymouth takes down the two thousand miles of the Yukon from Canada into Alaska. It's a river that the King salmon migrate up to spawn, and as well as describing the scenery, Weymouth stops at various towns, villages and fishing camps along the way to meet people all of whom have an interest in the salmon and opinions on how much fishing should be allowed. There is no simple answer to this question of the salmon, and it was fascinating to gain a little understanding of the differing views which weren't always as expected. There were some sections where Weymouth tells the story from the point of view of someone he meets, and although this was also beautifully written, it made the non fiction / fiction boundary a little muddy for me. Recommended.
