River Guides of Miramichi

River Guides of Miramichi, by Wayne Curtis. 

For over 150 years, anglers have chased the elusive Atlantic salmon on New Brunswick's Miramichi River, guided by generations of local experts. In River Guides of the Miramichi, renowned 37-year veteran guide Wayne Curtis masterfully captures the essence of these extraordinary men and women.

Discover the "living encyclopedias" of the river – their inherited techniques for canoeing, fishing, and managing "sports," alongside their shrewd wisdom, kindness, and legendary knack for yarn-spinning. Curtis introduces over 20 guides, sharing their lives and, most captivatingly, their best stories, often in their own words.

Illustrated with vibrant photos of the guides, their gear, camps, and the "sports" they expertly lead, this book offers a unique and intimate look at a cherished way of life on one of the world's most iconic salmon rivers.
