Fourteen seasons immersed in the life of wild summer steelhead.

"A Temporary Refuge: Fourteen Seasons with Wild Summer Steelhead" by Lee Spencer offers readers an intimate glimpse into the life cycles and behaviors of wild summer steelhead in Oregon's North Umpqua River. Over fourteen years, Spencer, accompanied by his loyal dog Sis, observed these remarkable fish, documenting their interactions within the ecosystem. His detailed accounts provide a rich tapestry of the interconnectedness of fish, water, vegetation, and other wildlife, reminiscent of Thoreau's reflections on nature. This hardcover edition is both a compelling memoir and a profound exploration of environmental conservation.
