The late Lee Wulff was one of the world's foremost salmon anglers, as well as a skilled airplane pilot and explorer. Bush Pilot Angler is his extraordinary memoir that shares the story of the years in which Lee pioneered the salmon and brook trout fishers on the remote coast of northeastern Newfoundland and Labrador. Having established outpost camps by boat, he quickly learned that getting clients and supplies in and out would require a plane. Through the 1940s and early 50s, Wulff ferried anglers into isolated lakes and rivers by flying them in with a J3 Cub on floats. The fishing in this wild and remote venues exceeded his clientele's most fervent expectations. Bush Pilot Angler is a superbly presented, highly recommended autobiography of courage, love, flying, and fishing.

An interesting book for those curious about the history of the Wulff flies, or those who like a collection of enjoyable fishing ancedotes. It's not the strongest book written by Wulff, but it's still enjoyable.

Lee Wulff gives fly anglers a concise and innovative look at fly fishing through his eyes. His experience and practical knowledge make fly fishing an approachable and educational experience. He gives his unique opinions on casting, fly selection and tying, use of barbed hooks, and fishing strategy. His independent approach is refreshing in the repetitive world of fly fishing literature.

This is not a thorough biography on Lee, however, any serious collector on the life of the greatest angler and most innovative fly tier that blessed our presence in the last century is s must-have.

Jack Samson had the knowledge, experience, and access to the materials needed to write a solid biography of Lee Wulff. Wulff's achievements (originated fly patterns most anglers carry, and the vest in which we carry them; a leader in catch-and-release angling and salmon conservation; a fine writer) certainly merit the attention of a biographer. Samson's book has not filled this gap.

The best parts of this book are the abundant quotations from Wulff's prolific writings and occasional useful contextualization provided by Samson. The narrative itself offers neither insight into Wulff's character, nor compelling reading. There are enough anecdotes to incite interest, but too little follow-through on many interesting topics.

There are also nice photographs, some of which are Samson's.

With the journalistic style Samson employs, Samson demonstrates that Wulff speaks clearly for himself on issues of interest and importance to anglers. Further, Samson demonstrates that he knows a good bit about Wulff's life and writing. He could have created a useful anthology to introduce readers to one of the most original sports fishing authors of the twentieth century. Such an anthology might still be welcome.

This book provokes interest that it cannot satisfy. Fortunately, Wulff's own books are still available.
