Tanner was challenged to "do something . . . spectacular." He met that challenge by leading the successful introduction of coho salmon into the Michigan waters of the Great Lakes. This volume illustrates how Tanner was able to accomplish this feat: from a detailed account of his personal and professional background that provided a foundation for success; the historical and contemporary context in which the Fish Division undertook this bold step to reorient the states fishery from commercial to sport; the challenges, such as resistance from existing government institutions and finding funding, that he and his colleagues faced; the risks they took by introducing a nonnative species; the surprises they experienced in the first seasons catch; to, finally, the success they achieved in establishing a world-renowned, biologically and financially beneficial sport fishery in the Great Lakes. Tanner provides an engaging history of successfully introducing Pacific salmon into the lakes from the perspective of an ultimate insider. Author Biography Howard A. Tanner, widely known as the "father of the Great Lakes salmon fishery," spent a distinguished forty-year career in fisheries and natural resources and serving as chief of the Michigan Department of Conservation Fish Division and director of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
