Why do you love fly fishing?

While I love fly fishing for endless reasons, I think the most important part to me is slowing down and taking the time to appreciate how blessed I am to be out in the wild and experiencing all it has to offer.

How did you get started in the sport?

My first experiences fly fishing were chasing bluegills with popping bugs on an old Eagle Claw with dad.

Where is your favorite place to fish and why?

My favorite place to fish is the general Ozark region, as it has so many phenomenal smallmouth and trout-filled creeks and rivers to endlessly explore.

What is your dream destination to fish?

A dream destination of mine to go fish would be Argentina, chasing golden dorados and trout.

Why is the Atollas brand special to you?

Fly fishing in the Ozarks has highlighted how incredibly designed and thought-out Atollas boxes are. Whether I'm wading or in the drift boat, I'm always on the move chasing different species on various rivers and creeks, and I always know I'm covered in any situation with only one or two Atollas boxes.

What Atollas product(s) are in your everyday carry? 

In the drift boat, I'm typically running 2-3 2GO boxes, and opt for the 1GO box when I'm wade fishing, but the Micro Box lives on my dash for the unplanned side quests.

Which one is your favorite and why?

I'll be honest, I'm a streamer junky, and the 2GO Box has been my favorite, drastically increasing my storage, allowing me to cut down how many boxes I have to carry and sort through.
