Welcome & Big News

 First, I want to welcome you to my website and also thank you for visiting FWM! This is a very special space that allows me to share with you and everyone else my dream and passion. For those of you that are already regulars, I appreciate your patronage. For those of you that are here for the first time, I hope you too become addicted to the area that I call my "canvas." Different than that of an artist, but similar in the fact that it allows me to express myself and hopefully pass along valuable info to help you become better with your time on the water and in the woods.  

In case you haven't heard or read yet, Travis Frank and I have been selected to host and guide the Governor and Lt. Governor for fishing opener on our home lake, Lake Waconia. I am thrilled to be a part of such a great tradition and event. Being asked to represent my hometown community and lake where I cut my teeth is an honor. Growing up fishing Lake Waconia has been a blessing and something I take with me everywhere I go in life and on tour.  

One interesting fact about both Travis and myself; we both have websites originally designed and built by my sister, Jenny. Think it was just coincidence? I think not. I started my blog a year or two before Travis, but soon thereafter he was off and running with his site. For those of you that visit often you will notice a new look-and-feel to the page, and a bit of a new vibe going. What do you think? Jenny does the "behind the scenes" work, allowing me to do the part I understand and love - FISH! I honestly have to credit so much of my success and opportunities to my sister. Thanks to the channel she has designed and built I have been able to "paint" all over the canvas. I look forward to what the future holds and am ecstatic about being selected to guide with Travis for one of Minnesota's oldest running traditions, the MN Governor Fishing Opener. Fish On!
