Great Lakes Echo: Good anglers, bad marriages and fish that fake orgasms
Eric Dregni dug through small town museums to produce a cultural history of fishing in the Great Lakes region.
He listened to anglers tell the same big fish story over and over until after three years he had collected enough odd end stories that make up “Let’s Go Fishing.”
The book tells kooky stories of leech farmers, herring shovels and annual fish festivals from all over the Great Lakes, including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Canada.
Just how kooky?
