Ryan Hicks

Operator since 2007
I became a fisherman out of a deep love for the water and the peace it brings. I'm grateful every day to share that with others and to fish these beautiful waters. It's not just about the catch—it’s about respecting the lake, teaching conservation, and helping people connect with nature in a meaningful way.
