In this episode of Lake Effect we’ll visit with Marblehead resident D’Arcy Egan about his half-century of outdoor reporting including his 30-plus years at the Cleveland Plain Dealer. But mostly about his special relationship with Lake Erie, the evolution of walleye fishing on the lake and a little about sharing the outdoors with others and being a good person.
James Proffitt moved north from Cincinnati to Marblehead in 2007 and says he’d never leave the lake. After nearly a decade as a Gannett reporter/photographer he’s now a freelance writer and the Lake Erie contributor for Detroit Public Television’s website, greatlakesnow.org. He writes about all things Lake Erie including conservation, recreation, wildlife, art and current events. His verse and fiction have appeared in numerous university and literary journals over the years. He looks forward to meeting new people and exploring their affinity for the lake through proximity, labor or simple love.
