Читать книгу Fly Fishing Bull Sluice Lake & Morgan Falls Dam Area - David Cannon L. - Страница 6

For Chad McClure, two boyhood hobbies have developed into lifelong passions. The Augusta native picked up his first camera as an eight-year-old and has been documenting the world around him ever since. He has also been fishing for as long as he can remember and first discovered the sport of fly-fishing as a teenager.

As an avid outdoorsman, Chad has been hunting and fishing the woods and waters of the southeast most of his life. He finds as much pleasure in fishing sixty miles off the coast as in the small streams of northern Georgia. A graduate of the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism, Chad began his photography career at the Chattanooga Times Free Press, where he honed his skills as a staff photojournalist under the guidance of editor Billy Weeks.

He continues to do freelance photography and has been published in magazines including Gray’s Sporting Journal, American Angler, Stratos, Georgia Sportsman, Georgia Outdoor News, and Western Horseman. His photos also grace books, including Tennessee 24/7 and The Best Fly Fishing in the Southeast, as well as many daily newspapers.

Chad is employed by Morris Sporting Group where he works on Gray’s Sporting Journal, American Angler, and Fly Tyer. When not fishing, he enjoys hunting, wingshooting, and gardening. Chad and his wife, Pam, live in Thomson, Georgia, with their wonderful dogs. See www.chadmcclure.com.
