Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fishtown, in Leland, Michigan, is a rare and vibrant maritime landscape of weathered fishing shanties and fish tugs, tucked in along the Lake Michigan shoreline in view of the Manitou Islands. Fishtown has witnessed the heyday of fishing and the trials of the changing Great Lakes. It remains an active place for commercial fishing, where every year thousands of visitors experience one of Michigan's founding industries and its Great Lakes. In Fishtown: Leland, Michigan's Historic Fishery, author Laurie Kay Sommers tells the story of this beloved place's past and present. Although people throughout the Midwest know and love Fishtown, this book sheds light on a Fishtown that few but the fishermen and ferry captains have seen. It provides a deeper understanding of a historic and endangered way of life that has profoundly shaped shoreline communities in Michigan. Sommers also shares the story of a community determined not to lose this historic and picturesque attraction, and the triumphant efforts of a non-profit organization to purchase and care for a key portion of Fishtown. Above all, the book's stories and images underscore why Fishtown matters and why it is important that it continues as a living legacy of Michigan's maritime history. "Fishtown is such a special place with so many incredible stories," said Sommers. "In writing and researching this book, I especially enjoyed the opportunity to sit on the Fishtown docks or at kitchen tables throughout the community as people shared their remembrances and experiences. So many people are natural storytellers, and their tales ranged from funny to fascinating to poignant. I hope this book will serve as a tribute to those whose stories it tells."

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: The period between 1900 and 1950 was a time of great change for the small lakeside village of South Haven. During this pivotal era, the town was transformed from a rough commercial port into a beautiful tourist attraction. Although South Haven is now entirely a recreational harbor, this compilation of archival photographs provides a glimpse of an earlier time when shipments of coal, stone, pig iron, paper pulp, and clay came to port instead of pleasure boaters. Showcasing the remarkable photography of Roy S. McCrimmon, Maritime South Haven: 1900-1950 documents South Haven's nautical heritage with images of large foreign freighters, hardy fish tugs, bustling passenger steamers, carefree pleasure cruisers, and sprightly sailboats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northern Michigan is a place, like all places, in change. Over the past half century, its landscape has been bulldozed, subdivided, and built upon. Climate change warms the water of the Great Lakes at an alarming rate—Lake Superior is now the fastest-warming large body of freshwater on the planet—creating increasingly frequent and severe storm events, altering aquatic and shoreline ecosystems, and contributing to further invasions by non-native plants and animals. And yet the essence of this region, known to many as simply “Up North,” has proved remarkably perennial. Millions of acres of state and national forests and other public lands remain intact. Small towns peppered across the rural countryside have changed little over the decades, pushing back the machinery of progress with the help of dedicated land conservancies, conservation organizations, and other advocacy groups. Up North in Michigan, the new collection from celebrated nature writer Jerry Dennis, captures its author’s lifelong journey to better know this place he calls home by exploring it in every season, in every kind of weather, on foot, on bicycle, in canoes and cars. The essays in this book are more than an homage to a particular region, its people, and its natural wonders. They are a reflection on the Up North that can only be experienced through your feet and fingertips, through your ears, mouth, and nose—the Up North that makes its way into your bones as surely as sand makes its way into wood grain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
