I'm an avid fly fisherman and spend much of my time in the summer casting my hand tied #18 yellow humpy to unsuspecting high mountain trout in Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho. I also spend many weekends every year at the family cabin riding ATVs, roasting marshmallows, spotting deer & moose, and teaching my kids the finer things in life like how to skip rocks, catch snakes and frogs, and race home-made zucchini boats in the creek.
I have a spectacular little family and an amazingly understanding wife. I cannot wait until my fishing and hunting trips include my five boys (and daughter, if she so chooses).
I can be found on many of the western hunting forums and message boards under my username "derekp1999".
