About Rob

Rob has always been an angler. From dangling salmon eggs with a Snoopy rod as a child to his current attempt to master a spey rod, his life long love for the pursuit of his fine, finned, friends has continually evolved. He gains a deep satisfaction from sharing this passion with his friends and family. His "free" time is spent making kamikaze runs to float the Green in the summer, and fishing Montana in the dead of winter.
