The book starts from the unhappy fact that the 2018 angling catch was the lowest on record. Salmon anglers were abandoning their rivers with disastrous effects for the economy of many parts for rural Scotland. This resulted in a debate in the Scottish Parliament and a raised profile of the problems affecting the salmon in a changing world. Jamieson, examines the numerous changes for the salmon and its environment which may have brought this about with particular emphasis on the impact of a changing climate. In an authoritative, but readable, style he traces the changes which are affecting the salmon 'lost at sea' and its problems getting from its nursery streams to the sea in the first place. He examines the changes affecting the salmon rivers - their increasing volatility and extreme events - and the effects on salmon angling.In a complex and changing world he pleads for more 'joined-up' thinking and action to focus on the salmon's problems and speculates on the future of Scotland's iconic king of fish.
