My love of fishing began with my first catch of a wild Brown Trout as a child, from that point, I haven't met a fish I did not like. The sport of fishing appeals to me because of the beautiful, wild destinations it takes me in the great outdoors. Fishing can be as simple, or extravagant as one prefers and every day has something different to offer. I love to fish, so if I'm doing something I love, it's not work, therefore I'm not working another day of my life!
