Summary: "Sport in Vancouver and Newfoundland" by Sir John Godfrey Rogers is a travelogue and sporting memoir written in the early 20th century. The author recounts his adventures during two autumn holidays spent in pursuit of fishing and hunting in the regions of Vancouver Island and Newfoundland. The book focuses on the author's experiences with sport fishing, exploring both the environmental setting and local culture while sharing insights on the various species of fish encountered and the challenges faced in these natural landscapes. The opening of the memoir describes Rogers’ excitement as he embarks on his long-anticipated trip to Vancouver Island, having been inspired by writings about the renowned Campbell River and its impressive salmon fishing. As he details his journey—from the luxurious pleasure of his transatlantic voyage to the interactions with other travelers and the local populace—the author reflects on the joys and rigors of traveling as a sportsman. He expresses his eagerness to fish for tyee salmon and hunt wapiti in the lush forests, conveying a sense of adventure mixed with contemplative observations on the challenges of both fishing and rail travel during that period.
