The Last Guide

A Story of Fish and Love

This classic fishing story is now an e-book!

The Last Guide is the award-winning story of Frank Kuiack, the oldest fishing guide in Canada's fabled Algonquin Park. He’s crusty, he’s opinionated, and he can catch more trout than anyone you’ve ever met.

The Last Guide has been called "A homage to a vanishing way of life," and "A story that will feed the soul forever." Following Kuiack’s life in the woods from the time he was born until he retired from full-time guiding, this is a story of hard living, mistakes made along the way, and a redemption tale at the end that is as memorable and awe-inspiring as the Algonquin Highlands themselves.

Within the pages of the Last Guide you’ll meet historical characters like E.B. White (the author of Charlotte’s Web, who always wanted to be a fishing guide in Algonquin Park) and painter Tom Thomson (who actually was a fishing guide in Algonquin Park.)

As you paddle your canoe along with Frank, you’ll also learn:

• How to make a shore lunch

• How to arrange an easy portage

• How to avoid politics

• How to stay married

• And how to catch trout

Those are all connected, by the way. At least according to Frank.

Written by acclaimed writer Ron Corbett (the Edgar nominated author of the Frank Yakabuski mystery series, set in Canada’s Northern Divide) The Last Guide is richly anecdotal, entertaining and comes with marvellous photographs throughout.

The Last Guide is an unforgettable story, and a loving tribute to sport fishing and all those who are slightly, just a little obsessed with it.
