| Notes | Originally published as "North Umpqua Steelhead" in Sept., 1935 in Sports Afield magazine. The article begins with a diatribe on 1930's management and stewardship of the Umpqua, then describes the river and euphorically praises its fishing. "The people of Oregon, and more especially, those who live on or near the Umpqua, are as a whole deaf and dumb and blind to the marvelous good of this river, and if they do not wake up, its virtue and beauty and health will be lost to them." (p.269) The book includes a photograph of Grey on the North Umpqua River with three steelhead, from August, 1935. (p.339) |
