About
Many fishermen will acknowledge that the brown trout (Salmo trutta) and the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are the world's most intriguing, beautiful and noble fish. Having evolved nearly fifty million years ago in the Eocene epoch, these two species are close genetic cousins and descendants that can be found in oceans, rivers, lakes, and streams across the entire world. The Brown Trout-Atlantic Salmon Nexus is a complete historical, scientific, artistic, culinary, and practical guide to understanding and appreciating these remarkable fish.
Veteran author, guide, and adventurist Matthew Supinski first highlights the evolution and history of the brown trout, from its origins in Europe and the Eastern Hemisphere, to its first North American transplanting in 1883, to its spread across the globe. He then dives into the scientific and angling brilliance of the brown trout/Atlantic salmon lineage praising the two species' remarkable adaptability and resilience. And finally, chapters on fly-fishing tactics, fly patterns, artistic appreciation, and culinary/foraging opportunities where they are found throughout the world, will give readers all the information they need to catch, admire and appreciate this magnificent piscatorial legacy.
With more than 150 stunning photos, The Brown Trout-Atlantic Salmon Salmo Nexus is a must-have for every passionate fisherman, admirer, artist and culinary naturalist connoisseur to enjoy.

"From the challenges of the chess-like game of cracking the code of selective feeding on a limestone stream to the thrill of a pursuing a predatory 'truttasaurus' with giant articulated meat streamers, Nexus is a must read for anyone who enjoys Salmo and their pursuit with a fly."
Henry Ramsay, author of Matching Major Eastern Hatches
"I can't think of anyone better to write about our founding fish. Matt Supinski has studied brown trout and salmon for decades, and can explain their similarities and nuanced differences as fluently as a wine connoisseur can describe red wines from the Old World and the New."
Ross Purnell, editor and publisher at Fly Fisherman
"This book is a must read for anyone who wants to truly understand the fish we love to hunt. Matt's unique writing style keeps a subject that could otherwise be pretty boring, interesting and fun to absorb. From tales of his childhood in Poland to the anecdotal tales of the trout, and the endless amount of intense historical data he has compiled. This book will definitely keep you interested and l
