I am a HS Earth Science Teacher and professional angler in upstate NY where I primarily target trout and salmon during the summer, walleye and perch in the spring and fall, and perch, walleye, and northerns in the winter through the ice. I work with a multitude of companies on their pro staff and I am the Director of the statewide NYS Classic Fishing Tournaments and Great Lakes Salmon Showdown Events.
