The author writes in this book: "Many sport fishermen who come to this great land - Labrador - to do some sport fishing have often asked me, 'Do you know how long ago it was since the first sport fishermen came north to fish these great rivers and streams?'
"My reply is the same almost every time, 'I just don't know. I've only seen records dating back to the turn of the century.'...
"Now it goes far beyond man's dreams to watch sport fishermen come to this coast, not only be steamers, but by the hundreds on large commercial airlines and by small privately owned planes and choppers."
