What reading level is Observations On a Salmon River book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In addition to salmon, it held any quantity of sea-trout. These ran later than the salmon, but by the month of July the river was full of them. They frequented as a rule the thinner water, but they were gen- erally to be found in the salmon pools also. Here they were a great nuisance. They stuck at nothing in the way of a fly. They had tremendous teeth, and after playing one or two of them your fly was ruined. More- over, the larger fish played very strong, and in spite of attempts to give them... short shrift, A CANADIAN RIVER 115 splashed about all over the place and effec- tually disturbed the pool. We caught them up to five pounds weight, and a friend of mine who was on Lord Derby's staff has the outline of a seven-pounder which he cap- tured. I have a photograph of a basket of ten caught by Lord Alexander Russell, and weighing 40 pounds. When there was noth- ing better to do, we used frequently to go out with light rods and small flies and fill our baskets with these fish. I remember one occasion on which one of my sons and I found that a school of them had run up into a " bogan " (a back-water or creek), in the absolutely still and pellucid water of which we could see them quite plainly as they cruised around.
