Trout

In Trout Madness, lawyer turned writer Robert Traver, the pseudonym for John Voelker, captures the magic of fishing for the elusive trout in the rivers of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Rather than offering sage advice for the best means of catching trout, Traver instead chooses to regale his readers with mostly true tales of matching wits with the clever fish. Here, he proclaims the need to apply a fair degree of Machiavellian subtlety to offer up an artificial fly to an incredibly wary creature. By accepting this challenge, Traver describes that the heart of trout fishing lies in getting away from the stressors of modern life and escaping to the quiet woods and streams.
