Ah, Fly Fishing the Great Lakes Tributaries! A delightful read for all you avid anglers who secretly dream of casting your line into the emerald waters of the Great Lakes and pulling out the fish of your wildest dreams-or at least a trout or two.

Rick Kustich, our very own fish whisperer, takes you on an epic journey through the tributaries that call the Great Lakes home, and oh boy, does he know where to find the good stuff. Packed with over 120 pages (yes, I know I'm supposed to avoid page counts, but let's be real, it's a fishing book and we might have to count pages later on), Kustich serves up a feast of knowledge that's about as hefty as your average salmon.

So, what would you say is the crème de la crème of this book? Well, first up, we have the highlights of fly fishing techniques that will make even your Pinterest board proud. Imagine yourself gracefully casting your line while dreaming about that Instagram-worthy catch. Kustich lays out the basics, because let's be honest, we all need a guide when we're trying not to look like a total newbie at the riverbank.

Kustich doesn't just talk about fishing; he also shares prime locations, including the nooks and crannies of rivers that are likely to be bustling with fish who are completely unaware of the impending doom. You'll learn about different seasons and how they affect fishing conditions-because nature's a real diva and likes to keep things interesting.

But wait, there's more! Kustich dives into specific strategies for catching various species, from trout to steelhead, and it's like a Tinder date for fish. He gets into all the juicy details about what they like to eat, how they behave, and why they have trust issues (hint: it's because of guys like us).

And hey, for all of you who can't get enough of gear and equipment, fear not! This book brings out the best in fly rods and reels, as if they were the hottest fashion items on the market. Kustich clearly went into the nitty-gritty about what you should bring, when to use it, and how to avoid looking like you just stepped out of a thrift shop (unless that's your vibe, in which case, rock on!).

Now, I wish I could share more about the breathtaking scenery Kustich describes, but let's face it, the imagery of jumping fish and glistening waters is best left for your imagination. If you're picturing gushing rivers that could rival the best nature documentaries, you're absolutely on point!

In summary, Fly Fishing the Great Lakes Tributaries is not just a fishing manual; it's a call to adventure.

So grab your rod, find a river, and prepare to embrace your inner angler-just don't blame me if your boss calls you in for a chat about your new "fishing leave." Happy fishing!
