Hunter grew up in Lodi, WI where he rode his bike to the local trout streams and out to Lake Wisconsin. At 12, he bought his first canoe and at age 19, he bought his first drift boat. After transplanting a couple times to Montana, Colorado and Michigan he found himself drawn back home to Wisconsin. Now, after decades of fishing and guiding in Wisconsin, he can't imagine spending life any other way. Countless fly fishing opportunities await you right here in Wisconsin. From the thousands of miles of Smallmouth and Musky rivers to the hundreds of miles of spring creeks full of brown and brook trout.
