Seminars, Sport shows, Articles, and Misc Events...
I am available to present seminars at sport and trade shows, during group meetings or at special events. I offer PowerPoint Presentations for both fishing clubs and non-fishing groups (such as the Lion's Club). Topics can be discussed and assigned, however, my specialty lies in row trolling for muskies. Since it is my mission to get more women out on the water and outdoors, I also enjoy delving into how to make this happen. Rates vary depending on distance and venue. Please contact me to discuss specifics.
