Just Movin' the Water Around
Much of this book is anecdotal, a retelling of the author's personal fishing stories, and of
other fishers who, in the 1970s "slipped off the sands of Cannon Beach" in 20-foot-long
dories seeking salmon, coho, cod, rockfish and crabs. Also included is a brief history of dory
fishing, a dory glossary, a list of captains and their boats, and numerous photos.

Peter Lindsey hopes this book will preserve a measure of this vanishing fishing way of life once
practiced in Cannon Beach.
