Dori Weldon

From the time I was five years old, I grew up fishing every day after school in my backyard in Alabama with my dad. Fishing was in my blood. My dad is an avid fly fisherman, and has been fly fishing since the 80’s, so he is an excellent instructor. My husband and I have been married about six years, and he also grew up fishing. Since we have been married, we have been fortunate to take many fishing trips with my dad. From Montana to Northern California to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Georgia, each place carries its own beauty and shared memories among the three of us. We love to catch fish, but it’s mostly about being out in the beauty and quiet of nature with special people while making memories that will last forever.
