Cody Catherall grew up in the Midwest, fly rod in hand. His passion struck at a young age and Cody was fishing tournaments and working in sports shops through middle school and high school. He moved West to attend college--he's a graduate of the University of Oregon--and the Western rivers really did him in! From the trout waters of the West, Cody began pursuing species and places on the map with abandon. His drive to fish has made him comfortable in the fresh and saltwater environments, which has lead to Cody’s biggest passion; showing off his favorite Idaho waters. First time anglers and old pros will both find good humor, good will and great fishing with Cody as their guide.
