The story follows Dr. Alfred Jones, a British fisheries expert who is approached by a consultant named Harriet Chetwode-Talbot. She represents a wealthy Yemeni sheik, Sheikh Muhammad, who dreams of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the arid desert of Yemen.

Initially skeptical and considering the project impossible due to the lack of water and fish, Dr. Jones dismisses the idea. However, he is convinced to take on the challenge when he realizes the potential political benefits it could have in fostering positive relations between Britain and the Middle East. Reluctantly, he agrees to help Harriet and the sheik in their endeavor.

Dr. Jones begins by analyzing the feasibility of introducing salmon to the Yemeni rivers. He consults with other experts and faces ridicule from his colleagues who believe the project is absurd. Despite the obstacles, he eventually decides to take the plunge and starts organizing the transportation and acclimatization of thousands of salmon from British waters to Yemen.

Throughout the process, Dr. Jones forms a bond with Harriet, and their professional relationship develops into a romantic one. As they work together, they face numerous challenges, including bureaucratic red tape, cultural differences, and funding issues. However, their shared passion and determination keep them going.

Simultaneously, they face skepticism and opposition from both the British and Yemeni governments. British press labels the project as a foolish waste of money, while Sheikh Muhammad's own advisors question his priorities. The sheikh, however, remains steadfast in his belief that bringing fly-fishing to Yemen will uplift the spirits of his people.

As Dr. Jones and Harriet continue with their efforts, they encounter unexpected turns of events. The sheik's political rival, Salim, who initially opposes the project, realizes the positive impact it could have on the people and decides to support it. Meanwhile, Dr. Jones' passionate endeavors catch the attention of the British public, and the project becomes a source of inspiration and hope during difficult times.

In the climax of the story, the salmon are successfully introduced to Yemen's rivers, and the first-ever fly-fishing opportunities in the desert become a reality. The sheik's vision is fulfilled as locals embrace the sport, finding solace and joy in the pursuit of catching salmon. Dr. Jones and Harriet find personal fulfillment in the success of their unlikely endeavor, and their relationship deepens.

"Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" is both a heartwarming tale about overcoming challenges and a political commentary on the power of dreams, faith, and the unexpected connections that can bridge cultural divides.
