I started fishing the Terrace area in the
1970’s. On May 24, 1983 I assisted my friend to land an 83-pound
Chinook on the Kalum River. It was the river record. That
experience changed my life and I started into the fish guiding
industry and began exploring and fishing rivers by jet boat.

Rivers and taught many folks how to row them.
