I have been a fisherman since I was about 10 years old, fishing everywhere from the New River and several stocked trout streams around my hometown of Blacksburg, to Cape Cod, and most of Maine. For the past two summers I have been on weeklong fishing trips to northern Ontario for smallmouth, pike and walleye. This year I'm staying in the US and heading to Thousand Islands, NY for more of the same.
I love surf fishing in the ocean, but prefer the fast moving waters of a river first and foremost, with the calm waters of a lake as my second choice.

Inaugural Kayak Trip Swift Creek Res
Map it

Took my new fishing kayak out to Pocahontas State Park and fished the Swift Creek Reservoir. No fish, but a good time with the new yak. Good place to practice, second time I have been here with little success. Wouldn't recommend fishing here.
