If It Snows, Go Fishing!: 60 Years of Stream Fishing in the Copper Country

A lifetime on the streams of Michigan's Copper Country, one cast at a time For more than sixty years, Clyde Wainio has waded the streams and rivers of Michigan's Copper Country, chasing Brook Trout, Rainbows / Steelhead, and Northern Pike through every season. In If It Snows, Go Fishing!, he shares a lifetime of fishing adventures--record catches, near-misses, family traditions, and unforgettable encounters with the wild. Rich with humor, local history, and the rhythms of nature, these stories honor the joys of patience, persistence, and respect for the outdoors. Complete with evocative illustrations by Joanna Walitalo, this memoir is a heartfelt tribute to both fishing and the timeless spirit of Michigan's Northwoods.

"If you enjoy stream trout fishing, you will enjoy Clyde Wainio's book If It Snows, Go Fishing! Wainio has been fishing for trout in the Upper Peninsula's Copper Country for 60 years and the book contains some of his fondest memories from those years. The book also includes some tips that might help make you a better stream trout angler." -- Richard P. Smith, Michigan Outdoor Hall of Fame inductee and author of Understanding Michigan Black Bear, 3rd Ed.

"If you love to fish, you will have fun with these stories and agree with many. Even if you don't like fishing, you will learn a lot and still chuckle at some of the adventures this author had on streams across Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The photos and illustrations really put you there." -- Deborah K Frontiera, U.P. Book Review
