I wanted to give a BIG THANK YOU to Outside Magazine and Chevrolet for having me on this shoot.
One of the anglers we met up with was Austin Cambell. I knew who Austin was, because I have followed his instagram for a while now. Big smiles and beautiful fish. It made me happy when I saw the posts. After getting to finally meet him, he’s way nicer than I could have ever imagined. Austin is from Colorado as well and in fact we are kinda neighbors, so Im sure I’ll be seeing him around town now and again. Austin was an expert at fishing and it was a pleasure working along side him up at Henry's Fork.
Every once and a while I get to meet someone who surprises me. Katie Cahn did just that. Don’t let her soft voice fool you, she’s a powerful woman who’s taking names. It was amazing to watch her interview with Chase and hear her story. Powerful doesn’t seem like a strong enough word for her, but I’ll say this. For being such a force in this world, she sure is nice to be around. She’s a professional angler who’s been making waves in the industry for a bit now. It was so great to meet her and work alongside Katie. BTW-She makes beautiful jewelry by hand. Here’s a link to her website
Matt Mendes has a super great back story about his days as an angler. He runs a fishing guide business that keeps him on the water most days. Not only that, he has access to rivers and areas that are only allowed to be fished by Native Americans. Matt takes full advantage of his access to Oregon’s famous Deschutes River, and being one of the few on the river also gives him a unique opportunity to help the rivers as well. It was funny just chatting with him, but part of his daily routine when on the river is cleaning it. It was really cool to hear about how much he loves and takes care of that stretch of river.
