This short story celebrates our resilient wild salmon, explores the anglers who pursue these fish from season to season, and issues a caution. From the Nehalem to the Chetco, the strong runs of 2013 - 2015 are but a high point in the cycle of the salmon's abundance. We must continually strive to protect the relatively healthy runs of wild and hatchery fish that we have so long taken for granted. With a Foreword by Frank Moore, iconic Oregon angler and resource steward, this story is accompanied by my original photos of Chinook salmon and the salmon's coastal Home Waters. Frank Moore says, "Home Waters is engaging, astute, and thought provoking. Jay's story paints the vivid picture of anglers, the challenges faced by wild and hatchery salmon, and productive rivers we often take for granted. Whether or not these are your own home waters, you'll be thoroughly fascinated by Jay's story and photography. PLEASE NOTE I encourage you to take this soft cover book to someplace like Office Max or Kinkos to have it spiral bound with plastic cover. This is inexpensive and allows you to lay the book flat on a desk and prolongs the "like new" look of the book. Thanks very much.

All is not well with the wild Pacific salmon of Oregon’s coastal waters. In Home Waters Jay has sounded a gentle wake-up call that we could lose it all. The very good salmon returns of the last two years on the Oregon coast have lullabied us back to sleep and we need to keep sounding new alarms as we quickly cease to hear the old ones. We can’t say we didn’t see it coming. The anglers of the “Lost Coast” didn’t see it coming either. We need to listen deeply to the questions the author poses.A note on the author’s salmon “predators we foster.” It is a popular lament. The modern secular “scapegoat” is any body (seals, cormorants, and their cohorts) or any thing that can be “rightfully” blamed for our sins, and deservedly punished. In a world without ritual, some wretched being will continue to be anathematized for our sins. In our non-ritualized “rites” (spelled rights of entitlement) of expulsion we scapegoat and become a scapegrace. Ancient stewards understood the consecrated nature of the Salmon and the conjunction ‘to prey on’ and ‘to pray to’. But all this was forgotten long ago. I suspect the author may know something about such matters.

Home Waters Oregon Coastal Treasure Jay W Nicholas Frank Moore 9781502995025 Books Reviews
Home Waters highlights the need to understand the environment in which all of us live. Jay does a great job of combining his years of experience as a fish biologist with his love for salmon to raise awareness on what's a stake and what we could all lose if we don't take action.
This book is a celebration and wake up call. It celebrates the remarkable reality of home waters still pulsing with wild fish runs strong enough to support incredible wild and hatchery fisheries. It's a wake up call that our home waters are unique and tenuous, and should never be taken for granted. Jay's amazing photography helps ensure his call to celebrate and protect these home waters resonates with readers. Here's to a future of vibrant home waters refreshing our soul and tugging our lines!
Those of us who live in the "salmon zone" of the Pacific Northwest are greatly privileged to have the opportunity to fish for salmon and steelhead close to where we live. This opportunity, as Jay Nicholas reminds us in this thoughtful book, must not be taken for granted. We live in a rapidly changing world with forces that threaten our wild salmon and steelhead. As salmon and steelhead anglers we must be vigilant and engaged to make sure that these magnificent sea-run fish continue to return to our rivers in the years to come. And, as the author reminds us in his honest prose and striking photographs, we must never lose hope that they can.
