Water
Music
Of Salmon, Saabs and
Spey Rods
by David Swanson
With a sharp eye and a keen and
energetic sense of adventure, the author at 33 years old sets out on yet
another trip to northern Norway to fish for Atlantic salmon to three
spectacular rivers: the Stordalselva, the Namsen, and the Bjora. David
travels and fishes through Norway’s pristine landscape with his friend
and guid Truls Ronning, and together with a gleaming new Saab 9-3, they
cover most of the pools and riverbanks holding both newly-arrived salmon
from the North Sea and an international mix of anglers and characters
you won’t forget.
Refreshingly free of the expert fisherman
posture, David examines and experiences the Northern life and its
fishing with affection and with his eyes wide open. In clear, fresh and
vivid prose, the author revels in the ever dependable return of the
salmon and his return to the Nordic North – both magnificently pulled
by the sun to the land where it never sits. The author’s artful,
evocative black-and-white photographs illustrate this memorable book.

A Grand
Reception for Water Music
On this past October 30th, Meadow
Run Press held a reception in Far Hills, NJ for the author celebrating
the publication of Water Music. The superb weather was a
celestial gift and several hundred guests enjoyed a grand Scandinavian
buffet and looked over an array of very snazzy Saab automobiles.
This even could not have
been possible without the endearing support of our friends at Saab Cars
USA and The Macallan, distiller (on the River Spey) of some of the
finest single-malt Scotch in the world. |
