Tim Schulz is an excellent angler, a fine man, and he’s put together a delightful collection of essays and yarns. They’re clear-headed, big-hearted, witty, smart, honest, and good-natured—all the qualities I admire most in writings about fishing.
Jerry Dennis, Author of The River Home and A Place on the Water
When tradition, friendship, family and fly-fishing all flow together, the result can be many memories that last a lifetime. In The Habits of Trout Tim Schulz’s stories and essays capture the very essence of his fly-fishing remembrances with words that touch the heart and inspire the soul. Schulz’s well-written pieces offer a glimpse into a northern Michigan way of life—a lifestyle very much worth sharing.
Jerry Kustich, Author of Around the Next Bend, A Wisp in the Wind, and At the River’s Edge
You know a book is good when you decide to read just a chapter or two, and then find yourself lost in its depths. You know it’s really good when, while you’re reading it, you’re making mental notes about which of your fishing bud- dies needs a copy. Tim Schulz tells a fine story. The voice in his words is clear and bright, like a particularly good day on the water.
Bob White, Artist and Author of The Classic Sporting Art of Bob White
There are some true gems in The Habits of Trout, passages that will make even the most jaded angler grin or nod his (or her) head in agreement and that will inevitably make other fly fishing writers green with envy in response to such gorgeous word-smithing.
Hatch Magazine
Tim Schulz dedicates his energies to rivers and trout in a manner beyond addiction, and his first collection of stories epitomizes the light-hearted devotion with which he explores the habitats of trout and the lore of Michigan’s wild Upper Peninsula.
James McCullough, Author of Voelker’s Pond and Echoes
Schulz’s generous writing spins experience on the water into larger life lessons of love, family, and friends. It is a thoughtful and enjoyable collection of essays set in Michigan’s wild Upper Peninsula.
