Patrick was driven to become a professional guide by his pure love of fishing, and strong passion to help people who have an interest in the sport.
Aside from guiding, Patrick often writes articles for newspapers, magazines and has appeared on many sport fishing television programs. He usually does so without any fee.
Patrick is originally from southern Wisconsin. He grew up primarily fishing rivers and creeks. He moved to central Wisconsin to attend college, it was at that time when he discovered his purpose. He and a friend went to "The Northwoods" fishing for muskie. His life would forever change.
Vilas and Oneida Counties are at the northeast corner of Wisconsin. It includes Eagle River, Conover, Phelps and Land O' Lakes.
There are 25,000 lakes in this region providing a home to some of the worlds largest fresh water fish.
Somehow we found a picture of Patrick without a fishing pole.
