Al Van Vooren

Fish of a Lifetime Al Van Vooren

Join author and angler Al Van Vooren as he highlights and reflects on 70 years of fishing with friends and family - and describes how he caught more than 140 different kinds of fish in those seven decades. Through vignettes, short stories and photos, the reader can come along to the creeks, muddy rivers and lakes of the Midwest to the trout streams, whitewater rivers and mountain lakes of the far West; from the blue waters of Hawaii and Costa Rica to the brackish waters of the Everglades; and from the Alaskan tundra to the Amazon jungle. Anglers will find familiar experiences they can relate to, as well as new experiences which may appeal to their sense of adventure. The collected stories are likely to elicit personal reflections and bring some laughs ... and maybe even a tear, for anglers and non-anglers alike.
