Drifting for Smallmouth Bass in Wisconsin Tributaries

A popular speaker during the off season, A.J. travels and conducts clinics and presentations related to fly fishing and outdoor activities throughout the country for numerous groups. Communicating and working with new anglers through his guiding and presentations is a special passion, influencing and encouraging others in conservation and appreciation of the sport.
