Roger Bohner

Roger was one of those fortunate kids be be born into a family deeply involved with fishing and hunting. He has been fishing since he was big enough to hold on to a fishing pole. His father, grandfathers and family friends taught him a wide variety of techniques and tools for fishing. Growing up in western New York State provided the backdrop for a variety of fishing activities including fishing the great lakes, finger lakes and many rivers and streams. He also experienced several years of freshwater and saltwater fishing in Florida while growing up. His love of fishing took him to Utah State where he earned a degree in Fisheries Biology. Traveling and working extensively throughout the western states Roger was able to fish some of the finest trout rivers in the country. During the summers the Green River in Utah and Henry's Fork In Idaho were regular haunts.

Roger relocated to Northern Ohio after graduation from Utah State. Living only a few miles from the shores of Lake Erie has proven a wise move. He won the Ameritech walleye fishing tournament two years in a row. He now enjoys recreational fishing on Lake Erie with some of the finest walleye, smallmouth bass, steelhead and perch fishing in the world. He also takes advantage of the short drives to New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan's fertile fishing waters. Roger regularly vacations in the Bahamas, Belize, Maine and Canada in search of a wide variety of freshwater, offshore and flats fish species.

You can find him on the water whenever his schedule allows. As Roger puts it, any day on the water fishing beats a day at work.
