DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book chronicles a lifetime of outdoor adventures primarily fly fishing lakes, rivers and streams throughout Wisconsin, as well as a few hunting and fishing excursions beyond. The stories largely begin and culminate on my beloved home waters of the Menominee River located in northeastern Wisconsin which I have fished for over 50 years. This wonderful, scenic river is currently threatened by a massive open pit mine that has recently received several permit approvals from the State of Michigan. The mine would be built 150 feet from its banks and would include a huge tailings pond that would produce toxic chemicals that will likely leach into the river over time. These true stories are written for anyone that enjoys reading about outdoor pursuits, but my hope is that it will also inspire others to get involved in advocating for precious natural resources that are threatened across the country. Profits from this book will be donated to organizations that are fighting to preserve the Menominee River.
