Book excerpt: These twenty-five stories in Mike Yurk’s “Fair Skies And Tight Lines” takes you into the world of fishing as well as adventures, both on and off the water. From memories of an outdoor catalog to the joys of using vintage fishing gear to stories of boats to fishing on his honeymoon and later his thirtieth wedding anniversary, you see a variety of fishing experiences enriching life. There are people in these stories such as an old German fishing buddy, another fishing partner with a new heart, and two granddaughters learning to fish. There is adventure here in fishing for big walleyes on big water and the power of summer storms. Going to a smelt fry or taking a fish fry to South Dakota brings family and friends together. It is not all about catching fish but sometimes just the pursuit is enough while muskie fishing. There are the memories of a boyhood growing up in the country surrounded by fishing and hunting adventures and returning home, much later in life, after a long time gone. Going fishing right after a long winter to the joys of spring fishing in April and late summer fishing in September you feel the changes in a season. Chasing after smallmouth bass to old and new memories of catching white bass to enjoying time on the water with friends on a special day in September takes us to the essence of what it means to go fishing. There is so much more to fishing than just catching fish and so much more in the pages of “Fair Skies And Tight Lines.”
