Ernest Schwiebert, Who'd Rather Be Fishing, Dies at 74

By DOUGLAS MARTIN Published: December 13, 2005 Ernest Schwiebert, an architect and planner whose lifelong passion for fishing led him to write influential books on piscatorial matters like how trout perceive insects - all the better to make lures to catch them - died on Saturday at his home in Princeton, N.J.

He was 74. Legend has it that Dr. Schwiebert (pronounced SHVEE-bert) landed a 12-inch brook trout with his first cast when he was 5 and never stopped casting.
