I live and grew around the chesapeake, so fishing is part of my life. Been fishing since i can remember. Got a boat, love to catch stripers, and back water fishing for bass and whatnot. But ive been hunting since i was 5. I will say that i spend more time hunting than fishing. Between, bow season, and the great goose and duck hunting my area offers my hunting time adds up quickly. Waterfowling isalso a passionand i plan to put down the 12 gauge and use my stick and string this year!!! I'll post the picks when i stick one. But bowhunting for deer surpasses them all.

Been fishing as long as I can remember. Only the last couple years have I been more excited about deer hunting. I'm just thankful for seasons, otherwise I'd have a heck of a time juggling both

I am like Matt/Pa. I guided here in Oregon for five years on the big fish water we have here. FFF casting instructor and I tied for all the local shops. Now I am out of school and have a real job and no time to guide. I still love to throw line though.

P.S. that is a native trout in my avatar cought 10min from my house in the lake. They grow them big here.

I fish probably more than I hunt. I live in an apartment complex with 3x large stocked ponds, about 10 acres total of water. I fish probably 3x a week there.

I also grew up in central Vermont. I have fished some of the best trout streams on the east coast and have been fortunate enought to catch many native browns and rainbows in the 3-5lb range. A lot of the best places I know make the Battenkill look like horrible fishing...... I fly fish, tie my own, attended many orvis events in Manchester, VT and have fished all up and down the east coast as well. I have been fortunate enough to fish in every state in New England except for Rhode Island, and also Maryland, PA, Delaware, NY etc. I regularly fish for trout, bass, pike, walleye, catfish, carp, whatever is swimming around when I have time to go...... As soon as I get this whole marriage and buying a house thing over will and financially recover, I will be buying a boat. Can't wait..

I love off-shore fishing and bass fishing as well. I think it takes a hunter to make a goodbass fisherman because your hunting the bass in structures, ect. I enjoy throwing a lure out and and not know if its a dink or 10 pounder when I set up.

I love to stalk those rising trout with fly rod in hand along the banks of the river. I think it's a lot like hunting because you specifically target individuals that you can see and you gotta be sneaky. Been fishin and huntin since I can remember. I do miss the smallmouth bass as there are not too many opportunities for them around here.
