Born and raised, married, and raised a family here in Cody. Fished from a boat with my father and have continued to do so for the last 62 years. I love to be on the water, meeting new people, and bringing a smile with a life long memorable experience to their face and soul. To me it is just such a treat to live where I do and be a part of this area. This is a great excuse for me to BE ON THE WATER.
