Captain
Nate Wellman

Member since March 2022 Newaygo, United States
Background
Capt. Nate Wellman grew up fishing with his dad every chance they could, that is where the captain's love for fishing started. He looked at his dad when he was 10 and told him he wants to fish every day for the rest of his life. Capt. Nate has never looked back from there.
Techniques
Capt. Nate is a power fisherman who likes to cover lots of water and find active fish. He uses conventional tackle the most but definitely enjoys fly fishing as well.
