Death of a Riverkeeper
Ernest Schweibert
Ernest Schwiebert became a serious fisherman at five when his firs cast into a Michigan creek surrendered a twelve-inch brook trout, which he derricked into the branches. Before he was thirty, the author has reached the top of the angling fraternity, and has fished the major rivers of Europe and South America as well as the principal waters of the United States and Canada. He is one of the best fly-fisherman in the world. His extensive travels have provided material for articles in such magazines as Sports Illustrated, Life, Esquire, True, Field & Stream, Atlantic, and Sports Afield, where he serves as a contributing editor. His first book, Matching the Hatch, was published by Macmillan in 1955, and is considered a classic in the literature of American angling.
These are the milestones of a fly-fishing life...and stories of fishing are best when shared.
Review: "Schwiebert ties it all together with that wonderful blend of Waltonian and Hemingwayesque styles that only he-author, artist, architect and angler extaordinaire-can do so well."
San Francisco Chronicle
