WASHINGTON'S SPORT OF KINGS | Book | Frank Haw

Available from Emerald Water Anglers when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

In Washington's Sport of Kings the development of salmon angling in Washington's marine waters is documented from its ancient origins, through the Puget Sound resort and boathouse era, heydays on the outer coast, to the present. Early salmon derbies and associated scandals, a knock-down fist fight between a prominent tribal member and a top State fish cop, and a Governor caught using a state-owned boat for his private yacht, are among the many factual vignettes.
