The Last Guide's Guide

by Ron Corbett

The Last Guide’s Guide picks up where Canadian bestseller The Last Guide left off – more stories and advice from Frank Kuaick, the oldest fishing guide in Algonquin Park.

The book is a rollicking return to the Algonquin Highlands with Leacock-like tales of politics, heat waves, bass fishing, Frank’s eightieth birthday party and meeting the Ambassador of Rock Lake.

The Last Guide’s Guide is the guidebook the world has been waiting for. A how-to manual to fishing, making money, cooking a shore lunch, growing old, and “everything else that matters. Not the stupid stuff.”

Solid book. Cool to hear an the history of lake trout guiding in Algonquin

[Carl Nelson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lovely way to catch up with Algonquin Park fishing guide Frank Kuiack since the end of The Last Guide. The author distills a series of lessons from fishing trip conversations with Kuiack, distilling his straightforward wisdom on a variety of subjects from fishing lures to falling in love to politics. As with the previous book, nostalgia and history are related with warmth and humor.

Again, I can't get enough of Frank Kuiack! He makes me want to save up and hire him to take me fishing. His view on the world is simple and honest and it makes you think twice about how we tend to complicate our lives. I need to go fishing!!!! The photos are great too, especially the one of Grey Owl feeding a baby beaver and the one of he and his late wife , Marie, which was in the first book also, makes me want to cry it is so intimate and beautiful!

Great book! Super descriptive, and an easy, interesting read about one of the last fishing guides in Algonquin Park. It gave some insight on what it was like to life in Whitney at the time and how Frank’s love for fishing always kept him close to Algonquin and his secret lakes.
