Virgin Water: Thirty-five Years in the Quest of the Squaretail Trout

Virgin Water: Thirty-five Years in the Quest of the Squaretail Trout by Leighton Brewer. Photographs by Helen H. Brewer.

Brewer's book is an ode to the brook trout, or "squaretail," and the pristine waters where it thrives. It's a series of essays and stories that chronicle the author's decades-long search for this iconic fish in the streams and wilderness areas of the northeastern United States. The book is not a how-to guide, but rather a collection of personal reflections, observations on nature, and memorable fishing trips. Brewer's prose is both poetic and deeply knowledgeable, making this a beloved work for those who appreciate the history and philosophy of fly fishing.
