Produktbeschreibung
From an unintended canoe voyage down Quiver Falls, the heart and soul of the Menominee River, to a quiet stroll along a meandering stream in southwestern Wisconsin that culminates in accidentally hooking a 500-pound beast, Return to Familiar Waters chronicles a lifetime of fly fishing and other outdoor excursions as told by experienced angler Scott Seymour. This collection of true stories provides the perfect mix: wild and riveting adventure, laugh-out-loud funny prose, and heartfelt family anecdotes. Turn to any page and you may stumble upon a stomach-turning single-engine float plane trip or an infamous flying ant hatch. While this book is brimming with spontaneous adventure and unforgettable expeditions, Return to Familiar Waters crescendos in a call to action: saving the Menominee River. The stories in this book largely begin and circle back to Seymours' beloved home waters of the Menominee River located in northeastern Wisconsin where he has fished for over 50 years. This mighty and breathtaking river is currently threatened by a massive open pit mine that has recently received several permit approvals from the State of Michigan. If successful, the detrimental mine would be built 150 feet from its banks. The mine would include a massive tailings pond which will produce toxic chemicals that will likely leach into the river over time. The stories in this book were written for anyone who enjoys reading about outdoor pursuits, though its true intention is to inspire others to get involved and advocate for precious natural resources being threatened across the country. Profits from this book will be donated to organizations fighting to preserve the Menominee River.
