Earliest Fishing Memory:

Fishing with my grandpa.  We would travel to a lake in northern Iowa called lost Island.  We stayed in a cabin and fished for bullheads.  Fished from sunrise to sunset.

Favorite Fishing Story:

Fishing with my grandpa at a small creak behind my house.  We didn't catch a fish that day, but instead a snapping turtle took the bait.  I pulled it out of the water and landed it on the sand.  I ran scared to death and my grandpa fell to the ground.

Favorite Fishing Partner:

It was my grandpa... now nothing beats time with my son, Cameron.  He loves to fish and would spend hours on the lake.  He met an amazing science teacher that introduced him to fly fishing and tying flies.
