description: In the fall of 1994, Deval set out to fish the Broadback from the wilderness in search of the big one. He had a particular spot in mind, and neither shoulder-high bracken nor a whirling dervish of a wind was going to stand in his way. With him were fellow fishers Gary, Paulo and Paul—Quarrington, that is, who has recorded their adventures here.Does our intrepid fishing party manage to snag the elusive trophy? You’ll have to read this book to find out. Along the way, you’ll find your-self irresistibly drawn into a hilarious and wide-ranging investigation of the art of angling, the mystery of piscatorial pleasure and the love of nature—or is that the nature of love?
