Steve
Chapman
Steve was born and raised in Michigan, where he spent many
summers in Algonac. He would get up early, ride his bike
to pick up bait (worms) and then fish for Perch at the end
of the dock that belonged to neighbors. His father, David
Chapman, also enjoyed fishing, and the two would go fishing
for Bass, Walleye and anything that would hit his bait when
he was younger.
Around the age of 16, Steve's family moved to Central Florida
and a couple years later the fishing bug hit him in full
force. He went from fishing retention ponds in Lake Mary
for Bass, to wading many of the inshore waters on the East
Coast. Steve's passion for fishing led him to taking private
fly fishing lessons from renowned fly fisherman, Jon Cave.
In the last several years, Steve has been fly fishing out
West numerous times, the Florida Keys to many times to count,
North Georgia, British Columbia, and learning the Mosquito
Lagoon and Indian River in his 16' Waterman. Steve believes
in CPR. (Catch, Photo and Release)
Steve's graphic design is seen on many fishing guides
sites all over the country, and does advertisements, web
sites and many other things for numerous marine related
companies. He will also be the first person to tell you
where he thinks you should try fishing, either on a boat,
or wading. His knowledge of the area, and it's fishing is
extensive. |
