FROM THE COVER == On the West Coast, fishing is more than an industry, it is a way of life. Here, from one of the industry\'s most avid chroniclers, are all the stories and all the pictures: record catches, decisive strikes, close calls; and firsthand accounts from the people who built boats at Menchions, skippered seiners in the Gumboot Navy and crossed the Atlantic in a 72-foot fish boat.

Fishing for a Living got started in 1986 when Alan Haig-Brown met the legendary Charlie Clarke, who sent him to Louie Percich and Dick Anzulovich, who sent him on to Fred Kohse and many, many others.

This book, the result of a three-decade infatuation with fishing boats and fishing people, salutes those fishers and everyone else who builds the boats and fixes the gear and brings in the fish—from humpback to halibut, from draggers to double-deckers.

The book has more than 200 photographs from the author\'s collection, oral histories from the Native Canadians, Dalmatians, Japanese, Norwegians, Vietnamese and others who created the rich culture of our fishing industry, historical background on the war years and the fishermen\'s union, an introduction to women in the industry, and even a chapter on the Zen of seining.

AUTHOR = Alan Haig-Brown learned to swim in the 1950s, among the humpback salmon in the Campbell River. In 1960, when he went out seining with Herb Assu on the 77-foot San Jose, Haig-Brown caught Sockeye Fever, and he\'s never gotten over it.

He seined salmon and herring until 1973, and served for eleven years as coordinator of Indian education in the Cariboo – Chilcotin, working to get Native languages into the public school curriculum.

Haig-Brown became editor of the West Coast Fisherman in 1986, and by 1990 had also founded the West Coast Mariner and the West Coast Logger. Over the years, his writing assignments for these magazines and others (including the National Fisherman, for which he has served as BC correspondent) have allowed him to indulge his enduring great passion for the fishing life.
