The new edition, while retaining the essays and stories of the original, also traces the many areas – shelter, clothing, electronics, augers, rods, reels and other tackle – that have carried the once homespun pastime to its increasingly popular and accessible present.
Wrote the contest judge, “Rarely does a book seamlessly blend entertaining and informative information. Steve has imparted vital, life-saving information in a style that makes the reader want to turn to the next page.”
Griffin was also awarded AGLOW’s Golden Glow award Excellence in Craft, for his long and productive career as an outdoors writer.
Griffin, a Midland native, has been a full-time freelancer since 1975, and a columnist and contributor to Michigan Outdoor News since its inception in 2000.
