Rogers biography would take a novel of epic proportions to capture. He has done it all and then some. In terms of guiding he began in the Rocky Mountains with one of the first rafting companies in the Aspen Valley guiding fishing and hunting. Roger spent years fishing all of Florida's waters, which later prompted him to start a fishing camp in  Mexico.  Mexico is now almost an annual trip for Permit and Bonefish. His travels have led him to fishing destinations including Alaska and Central America, and perhaps most notably, 40 years of fishing the Bahamas.  As a lifetime achievement, Roger helped pave the way to a sustainable fishery in Northern Wisconsin by advocating for a catch and release regulation on Smallmouth Bass in the Chequamegon Bay. The results speak for themselves as this fishery, 18 years in the making, now thrives with some of the largest Bass in North America. Roger's relationship with the Smallmouth Bass of lake Superior is on a very personal basis, however, knowing his modest demeanor, let it suffice to describe him as the type of fisherman that, if there are fish to be caught Roger will find them; a true fish indicator! His latest fishing adventures (winters) are found in the little known waters of an island in the south eastern Bahamas, however, he likes it so much you will have to ask him about it....

I was born in Aspen, Colorado (sometime around the rafting company) and grew up on the Front Range of Colorado. Being Roger's son, Fishing was probably the number one father and  son activity that we shared. I never thought I would be joining his career path until I grew up enough to see what a great thing it is to take people into the outdoors and show them a good experience. My first career was as a chef on private yachts.  However, not wanting to be stuck in a galley, I altered course and matriculated into Montana's Royal Tine Guide and Packer School. This school was more about horsemanship and packing, but I did learn that fishing was one of my strengths. The next step was to Guide in Alaska which I did for two seasons in the Bristol Bay area. My goal as a guide and in joining forces with my father is to carry on his legacy of promoting a  sustainable fishery through catch and release, and to reveal the incredible resource that we have right here in the U.P. of Wisconsin.
