As a life-long outdoorsman, both recreationally and professionally, I have long revered the author of the definitive guide to fishing: The Complete Angler. The English author gave impetus to the great outdoors movement long before it was a thing, and is the source behind every sign you encounter that says “Gone Fishin!” (Though the original quote was “I have laid aside business, and gone a-fishing.”)
I’ve also had the pleasure to know, and work with, 2 past CEOs of the Izaak Walton League, who where both huge advocates of environmental conservation and wildlife management on both public and private lands across the US.
