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.

Thousands of lakes and streams await anglers in Michigan State; pick almost any spot on the map and chances are there's a fishing spot nearby. But the fun and challenge is in catching fish, not just searching for them. Now with Michigan's Top Fishing Maps finding - and catching - fish just got a whole lot easier. Fresh water, trout, salmon, steelhead, bass, walleye... the opportunities are endless. Michigan native Chuck Lichon takes the guess work out of fishing some of Michigan's top rivers and lakes, including areas of Huron, Superior, Erie and Michigan lakes. Each river and lake is individually covered, Lichon discusses fish species and average size; seasonal availability; run timing; most productive techniques; best tackle and flies; shore and boat access; known structure such as sunken islands and drop-offs; and much more. You'll also find everything you need to plan a successful fishing trip - local hotels, lodges and B&Bs; campgrounds; National Parks and Ranger Stations; guides; tackle and fly shops; sporting goods stores; restaurants; chambers of commerce and visitor's centers; the amount of information is incredible. The 86 detailed maps alone are worth the price of this book.
