Dave Woodring is proud to be a part of the Anglers’ Legacy.

Who got me involved in fishing:
My grandpa McCoy and my grandpa Woodring were both instrumental in getting me started in fishing. They were both different in their approach too. Grandpa McCoy was a trout fisherman mostly and had a great passion for it. He fished the rivers and streams of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I learned to crall on my belly to get one shot, maybe, at a native brook or brown trout. Once in a while a beautiful rainbow could be fooled. We ate what we caught, slept in a tent and cooked on a fire. Grandpa Woodring was a lake fisherman. I lived in NE Ohio then so we fished Lake Erie, Pymatuning and the Grand river. We caught walleye, pearch, small mouth, northern pike, musky and big cat fish. I learned how to fish with live bait as well as artificial lures. Presintation was very important to him. I also became very good at taking a birds nest out of my flueger reel. I'm sure you old timers remember how don't you. LOL. I saw my first baled eagle while fishing in Canada with him. Times were much simpler then and folks had more time to spend with the youngsters. I miss them both.

Favorite Fishing Story:
My first trout. My first walleye, My first northern. My boys and their first fish. I have so many it's hard to pick just one.
