Fly Fishing the Great Lakes Tributaries by Rick Kustich Pdf
For the author, fly-fishing is the thread that ties life together giving meaning to the broader context of existence. As in his previous three books, Jerry Kustich tells more fishing stories that honor friends, reflect upon a variety of experiences, and rant on about environmental issues that are vital to all of us who love the outdoors.The tales in Holy Water flow from Jerry¿s days as owner of Sweetgrass Rods. With humor and reverence the stories relate hidden insights into life while pursing retirement dreams from Montana to Mexico to Maryland. The book¿s final story symbolically sums up the journey of his life in a monu- mental series of road trips to northeastern Canada in search of Atlantic salmon with his wife of thirty years who died in 2009.Along the way Kustich has discovered that all water is holy. Since it is in the nature of rivers to inspire, he concludes that: ¿One leads to another, and then another. They flow on forever, and forever connected, they enrich our souls and touch our spirits with mysteries that none of us can fully comprehend.¿

As the new chief of the Michigan Department of Conservation’s Fish Division in 1964, Howard A. Tanner was challenged to “do something . . . spectacular.” He met that challenge by leading the successful introduction of coho salmon into the Michigan waters of the Great Lakes. This volume illustrates how Tanner was able to accomplish this feat: from a detailed account of his personal and professional background that provided a foundation for success; the historical and contemporary context in which the Fish Division undertook this bold step to reorient the state’s fishery from commercial to sport; the challenges, such as resistance from existing government institutions and finding funding, that he and his colleagues faced; the risks they took by introducing a nonnative species; the surprises they experienced in the first season’s catch; to, finally, the success they achieved in establishing a world-renowned, biologically and financially beneficial sport fishery in the Great Lakes. Tanner provides an engaging history of successfully introducing Pacific salmon into the lakes from the perspective of an ultimate insider.
The author covers the little things, but he also talks a lot about the basic mentality that we must have for consistent success. He uses more than 30 years of experience as a Charter Captain and recreational fisherman to provide guidelines for finding fish -- usually the most important part of any equation for success. Dan also breaks down techniques so that any angler can understand them. He has created a book that will help anyone.
