trailhead Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I thought I'd write a little tribute to Paul Quarrington, one of my favorite Canadian fishing authors. He passed away last Thursday at 56. If you get a chance to read his books I'm sure you will enjoy it, he covered topics such as hockey, travel, rock n roll and fishing. Some good reads are; Fishing With My Old Guy, From The Farside of the River, Fishing for Brookies, Browns and Bows, Galveston and King Leary to name a but a few. I saw him perform years ago with Joe Hall and the Continental Drift and he could rock it out. He also lived in Calgary and Edmonton for a while and fished the waters here. As they say "only the good die young." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyfisher Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I've enjoyed his writing to. Heard an interview on CBC recently. In spite of his terminal illness, his outlook was very positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I second the tribute. Quarrington was one of my favourites. A real Canadian, through and through. The world is poorer without guys like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
