  • November 1, 2008 -- LE SHACK… A very special fishing place
    New book – Perfect Holiday or Special Occasion Gift

    LE SHACK: A very special fishing place, Jim C. Chapralis’s most recent book, shares the real tale of an endearing, rustic fishing cabin, the rivers of rural Wisconsin, and the engaging experiences of a dozen anglers who are members of Le Shack club – all drawn to the hidden charms of Midwestern waters.

    “Through the years, I have told people the true stories of Le Shack. No matter where they live, many say it reminds them of their own experiences…a cabin or lodge hidden in the woods away from it all with its own characters and traditions,” Chapralis said. “They enjoy it even if they don’t fish.”
