Our World is Smaller Without Glen Blackwood

Glen at the 2025 Fall Upland Dinner

The Lovells Township Historical Society is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Glen Blackwood. For over three decades, Glen was a prominent figure in the fly-fishing and wing-shooting communities, both in Michigan and across the United States.

In Lovells, we were fortunate to have Glen as a dedicated supporter of our community, particularly the Trout Fishing History Museum and the North Branch Area Foundation. He was always a welcome presence at our events, most recently attending our annual Fall Upland Dinner, where he shared his wisdom and unique perspectives.

Glen’s passing is a significant loss for all who share a passion for trout, upland birds, dogs, and the art and literature they inspire. He possessed a profound understanding of the spiritual nature of trout streams and woodland habitats.  Our world will be a smaller place without his presence.
