Meet Frank Kuiack, the last standard fishing guide in Algonquin Park. Kuiack brings a life time of stories and knowledge about the Algonquin. His magnetic character, abilities on the water, and understanding of the park’s elaborate lakes and tracks has actually motivated 2 books.
When Kuiack was eight-years-old, a group of American anglers used him $5 to reveal them where to capture fish– and he’s been making his living as a fishing guide since.
At 84-years-old and just recently identified with bone cancer, Frank’s health has actually deviated for the even worse. While he’s tried to train guides for many years and hand down his understanding, the physically requiring nature of the task has actually turned away most prospective apprentices.
Kuiack’s niece, Sharleen, has actually revealed a distinct capability to go toe-to-toe with Frank on the water however, in spite of her capability and love for her uncle, she stays uncertain how to continue his tradition or whether she desires to be the next “Last Guide.”
