Thomas BuhrThomas A. Buhr is a native Michigander and lifelong fishing enthusiast. At fourteen years old, he moved to Boca Raton and fell in love with Old Florida. Watching "progress" steal away this magical land also spawned his interest in conservation. Over hirty years he has written scores of articles in magazines, including Field & Stream, Florida Game & Fish, The Fisherman, Michigan Out-of-Doors, and Midwest Fly Fishing, as well as several pieces for academic journals. He was editor for The Riverwatch and won an award for Conservation Journalism from the Sierra Club in 2011. Both his first novel, The Outgoing, and his second novel, The Big Water: A History of Michigan's Lower Au Sable River, won silver medals in the Global Book Awards. When not fishing, writing, or protecting wild places, he cheers for his favorite sports teams: the Leicester City Foxes, the Michigan Wolverines, and the Miami Dolphins. Read More Read Less
