This engaging book on trout fishing contains some stories with reference to certain Michigan rivers. Among others mentioned are stories of fishing the Brule River, Fox River, Two Hearted River plus many others. The lead story is a tale of the Hemingway story, and the author and his two friends found what they feel was a spot on the Two Hearted River where Hemingway may have fished.

This is a collection of stories the author first wrote and had published in The Ashland (Wisconsin) Daily Press. Thurston, a retired school teacher, writes mostly of his native Wisconsin but many stories have a distinctive Michigan flavor.

I’ve had this book for some time, and didn’t review it because I was fighting a vision problem, but the time has come and trout season is on its way. This is a book that Michigan anglers should enjoy because it deals with some of our better Upper Peninsula trout streams.

Welcome to my weblog and website. If you enjoy award-winning writing and photography about fishing, hunting and natural resources management, this is the spot. Each story is illustrated by one or more color photos to increase your pleasure.

We are off on a new writing path. I’ve spent four years writing blogs, and 40 years writing outdoor copy. It is straight-forward, honest and informs and entertains. I cover many topics, but never write about non-consumptive outdoor pastimes.

My site has a daily blog, and once or twice a week, I’ll write a book review on topics of interest to Michigan and world-wide anglers and hunters. Within a month there will be a feature story about certain phases of the outdoors, and it too will be illustrated with color photos. On occasion there will be a feature by another outdoor writer on a topic I feel is important to my readers. Look for them soon!

Other items of interest will be added as time goes on. Some may be static items such as a table of insect hatches. Such things are of great interest to many fly fishermen.

I have made a living writing outdoor copy, and it comes from my heart. I cover topics that other outdoor writers seldom write, and recommend that readers check out my Sunday feature story in the Traverse City Record-Eagle. Look for it in the sports section.

My copy always deals with timely topics of interest, and if it interests me, it should interest you when stories are written about bass, brook trout, brown trout, crappie, muskellunge, northern pike, perch, salmon, steelhead, walleye and whitefish fishing. Check out my bow, firearm and muzzleloader hunting stories on bear, caribou, deer, ducks, geese, elk, grouse, quail, rabbits, squirrels and woodcock.

Scoops Books is another feature that allows me to buy and sell fishing and hunting books. There are currently 400 plus fishing-hunting books for sale at fair prices. Visit Scoops Books and review some great book buys.

We rock daily with a timely blog and weekly with book reviews and other outdoor features. Climb aboard and let’s go fishing and hunting together. And don’t forget, you can contact me anytime at: dave@daverichey.com . I promise to respond as quickly as possible.

Be good to each other and enjoy the great outdoors.
