A Trout Fisherman's Soul
About this ebook
A brush with mortality inspired the now-grown Tony to write A Trout Fisherman’s Soul, a light-hearted memoir that passionately describes how four generations of family trout fishermen built a rich tradition on the Flag River near Lake Superior. Tony lovingly describes a trip with his brother and their two sons, intermingled with flashbacks to times spent fishing with his father and grandfather. He feels an even deeper kinship with them when he realizes he has become the person passing on the family’s passion for the sport. A true testament to tradition, A Trout Fisherman’s Soul reveals that in the end it’s not the catch that feeds the soul, but the love of family.
"An intimate, entrancing sketch of a family that found joy and affirmation in nature." -Kirkus Reviews
