Tom grew up in southwest Michigan catching panfish out of small lakes with his dad, happy to occasionally catch a bass. Now he's addicted to carp on the fly and has a happy young family.

Spin rod, fly rod, or ice rod, shore, boat, or float tube, Tom loves fishing. He also ties flies and plays disc golf and is currently restoring a 1963 Boston Whaler 13.

If you have any questions about Fish Explorer or how to navigate our site, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email using the "Contact Tom" link. I'm happy to help.

Have fun out there!
