Fishing Old Wives Lake is a collection of stories and reflections, told through poetry, about growing up on a ranch in Southern Saskatchewan in the 40s, 50s and 60s and Neil's wanderings to the present day.   It explores relationships with nature, family, friends and neighbors with some nostalgia, a little insight, and a healthy dose of cowboy humor. 

Whether this is a trip back to your own childhood – or a visit to a place you have never been – this book will surround you with the sights, sounds, tastes and smells of life on the ranch, connecting you with that pace of life and place in time. 

We hope that you enjoy the journey.
