"The story of a town, its river and the community of people who fish in it." Newcastle, New Brunswick and the Miramichi River. "The prose is spare and direct, his arguments are passionate and convincing, but it is his poised storytelling that gives his book its power." (Toronto Globe and Mail). "These stories, netted from the amber waters of the Miramichi and warmed over the campfire under the stars, are for the kind of flyfisher who can see more than fish when he or she looks in the water." (National Post).
