Tim Kelly

An excellent talk by Tim last night...who doesen't want to go to the Lake of the Woods Muskie fishing after that presentation?? Tims entusiam for his lure fishing was amplely demonstrated in the talk, and I would recommend this talk to any of the other regions who are looking for something a bit different from the normal pike related shows.
