More Description
A seasonal almanac, and the story of Spencer's time at the pool, accompanied by his dog Sis. Along with initial chapters about Sis and the life cycle of the wild summer steelhead, each of the eight months that wild summer steelhead use the pool constitutes a chapter. He has gleaned like a thimbleberry patch his natural history notes for the past fourteen seasons for information on the local environment, steelhead and other Pacific salmon that use the pool, vegetation, birds, mammals, insects, reptiles and amphibians, seasonal changes, and interesting events and stories. Spencer is a modern day Thoreau, and the steelhead pool is his Walden Pond.
