Bio/Stats: Born and raised in Illinois, spent much of his childhood learning the finer intricacies of landing hard-to-catch, easily spooked fish.  Went to school in Colorado, studied the art of fly fishing.  Spends all his free time learning the minutest details of fish behavior.  Regularly misses friends weddings in search of record proportion rainbow trout.  Has fished the crystal clear flats of Diego Garcia, raging rapids of Colorado, cypress trees lakes of Louisiana, bluffs of Missouri's big water, lily pads of Illinois and Indiana, Texas, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Hawaii, Arkansas and Michigan.  Currently living in Shreveport LA, stationed at Barksdale AFB, La.

 

Favorite Fish: Bonefish.  Favorite spot: Antero Reservoir.  Preferred fishing method: Whatever is most productive but all things being equal then I'd choose fly fishing.  Best fishing moment:  First line scorching bonefish run.  Favorite fishing quote:  (Al Linder) "Ha. I see a lot of guys out fishing for big bass with Mickey Mouse tackle...You're never going to catch a big bass like that." Funniest fishing story: Yano falling off the boat the first time at Table Rock.

While on active duty,  lived in Texas and Arkansas, and has had the opportunity to fish places such as Alaska, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Idaho as well.  Fly fished the mountain streams of Colorado, fished for bass in reservoirs in Texas, Kings in Alaskan rivers, walleyes in the Lakes of Minnesota, and speckled trout along the Gulf Coast to name a few, and has picked up as much as possible at each stop along the way. Currently living in Jacksonvile, AR stationed at Little Rock AFB as a C-130 pilot, having a blast dicovering all of the excellent fishing in the area, and working on becoming the best multispecies angler possible.

Favorite fish: the one on the end of my line.  Favortie spot: Antero Res/ South Platte.  Preferred fishing method/type: This changes for me all the time, currently I very exceited about striper fishing here in AR, followed closely by the trout flyfishing.
