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
"I recommend If it Snows, Go Fishing: 60 Years of Stream Fishing in the Copper Country for its humor, because of its detailed descriptions of fish and its specific locations of where to find them, and its fishing adventures. Wainio humorously described how many fish he caught with one nightcrawler. Many of the fish found in the waters of the U.P. were mentioned in the book and Wainio mentions a multitude of locations in the Copper Country to experience fishing success. Wainio proudly shared his heartfelt memoir with phenomenal illustrations of many of his fishing adventures." -- Sharon Brunner, author of Lake Superior in the Moonlight: Yooper Tales
