I have to reread this book. I read it in grade 6 and the part that sticks with me is drinking the fish blood for breakfast.
If you like Hemingway and fishing there is a great book called "Hemingway on Fishing". It is great read with all of Hemimgway's writing on fishing. Hemingway lived in Toronto in 1920 and worked as a correspondent and freelancer for the Toronto Star Weekly where he contributed many pieces on fishing including the Soo. This book would also make a great gift for your favourite fisherman. You can get it at Chapters for $25.
