Fishing Stories From The Sprouting Pines Trout Camp: AuSable River, Grayling Michigan A Collection of Missives From The Director

Description

Fishing Stories from the Sprouting Pines Trout Camp offers a unique look into the trout fishing life of a Michigan family of anglers and their annual trout camp. The Sprouting Pines Trout Camp occurs during the opening weekend of trout season on the famed, blue ribbon waters of the AuSable River in Grayling, Michigan. Now representing four generations of "campers", these trout bums have gathered for opening day at their family cabin for sixty plus years. Every spring, "The Director" sends the infamous annual Trout Camp letter. Rare in this digital age of email and text messaging, campers find themselves anxiously awaiting their most anticipated piece of mail all year. Few places still uphold traditions like the annual Trout Camp weekend at the Sprouting Pines cabin. Filled with humor, heart, and true angler attitude, Fishing Stories brings the reader into the world of friends & family, camaraderie & competition, boats & barbecues; the world that is fly fishing on the AuSable river. If thoughts of fly fishing and long standing traditions set your casting arm to twitching, this book is a must read and will warm your soul.
