Remembrances of Rivers Past
Ernest Schweibert
Ernest Schwiebert became a serious fisherman at five when his first cast into a Michigan creek surrendered a twelve-inch brook trout, which he derricked into the branches. Before he was thirty, the author had reached the top of the angling fraternity, and had 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 Macmillon in 1955, and is considered a classic in the literature of American angling.
Schwiebert loves his rivers like all fishermen, and knows their music, their language, and their humor. Their moods, their landscapes, tips to fisherman, suggestions to conservationists, tales of adventure, legends, and anecdotes of other great anglers-all these can be found in Remembrances of Rivers Past.
Review: "It isn't necessary to know a Blue Sapphire from a Watson's Fancy to enjoy these books."
