RiverBank Memories

Riverbank Memories is a collection of humorous anecdotes and heartfelt observations from spending time outdoors wading rivers, creeks, and streams in Southern Appalachia and beyond.

This book is a lifetime of notes scribbled and finally compiled into one manuscript. Many of his angling stories and thoughts were written in journals, notes, or streamside handwritten on the riverbank. You may find a few stories about pursuing other outdoor hobbies or earlier times.

When reading, you will embark on an emotional journey and feel like you are standing beside him and participating. Mike shares the joy and wisdom he's accumulated fly fishing and being outdoors.

But it's not strictly a fly fishing book. He's thrown in some short stories he may call non-fiction, allowing the reader to laugh and determine the truth.

Spanning more than forty-seven years honing his skills as a fly fisherman, he also sheds light on the importance of teaching others the sport. Mike highlights this belief by sharing stories about his own family and absolutely defines the meaning of 'Take a Kid Fishing.'

This enjoyable book makes great bedside reading and will make the reader smile.
