Zack Williams takes time from his busy schedule to sit with me at the Backcountry Hunters and Anglers Rendezvous in Missoula and tell me his story:  A kid obsessed with fishing, inspired by mentors, finds his place in the world of like minded anglers and innovators using two handed rods to pursue steelhead.  But Zack excels and becomes one of the best casters of our time. 

About Jeff Mishler

Jeff Mishler is a fifth generation Oregonian who's life work is hard to quantify. Father, writer, photographer, television commercial director, environmentalist, video producer/distributor, website manager, hunter, angler and lifelong recreationist who lives a fly-by-the-seat-of-yourpants mantra. If he’s not in his office writing another essay or developing a show concept, he’s chasing mallards and pheasants with his lab Hailey, running his jet sled up a local river to a sweet steelhead run, setting up on a screaming bull elk with bow in hand or conspiring with his small circle of equally affected steelhead bums while downing healthy portions of really good Oregon beer.
