I grew up fishing for trout in Missouri’s crystal-clear State Park streams.
My family spent an average of 3 weekends a month, from March through September, at Montauk.

When Dad took a summer vacation we would go to Bennett Springs. Occasionally we would spend a week on the shores of Lake Taneycomo at Branson. Trout fishing was Dad’s passion.
My love of fishing includes trout. I do not share my dad’s obsession with trout, by I still enjoy a trout trip at least once a year.
I have caught some good trout in Lake Michigan. But for the past couple of years my annual trout excursion has taken me to Arkansas, where I fish with my great friend Donald Cranor.
