An angler's celebration of the brookie, one of the world's most prized and beautiful freshwater gamefish.

 Karas explores brook-trout history and speculates about its uncertain future. He has obviously taken a lot of time researching old brook-trout stories, myths, and legends; for example, Daniel Webster was at one time reputed to have caught the largest brook trout ever, a 14.5-pound monster (Karas debunks this story and makes some informed guesses as to who actually caught it, if indeed it ever existed). He does not, however, provide basic fishing advice. Yet if you seek a definitive resource on brook trout, search no further; indeed, so encyclopedic is it that even brook-trout devotees shouldn't expect to read the whole thing at one go. Jon Kartman
