Location: Watersmeet, Michigan | Wow, that Herter's guideboat is fantastic! Glad to see it so well cared for. Not being from Wisconsin, I've never seen the sense of row trolling, but always admire the patience and determination of those who do it.
My friend's grandmother, a tough old Italian lady, loved to row troll for pike and she did so from a wooden boat until the year before she died at 92 y.o. Now that's dedication!
Your boat has me thinking of all the winter evenings my brother and I spent thumbing through the Herter's catalogue, reading those wonderful descriptions over and over again, dreaming of the day we'd own one "just like that", whether it be a shotgun, a fishing rod or reel, a trap, or a bottle of scent. What a great company; losing them was like losing an old friend.
Thanks for posting.
