Heros

Alton Van Camp on the Flambeau River circa ~1925

One of the truly rewarding things about living your passion and working at something that you love to do is how the Universe just happens.

Huh?

I know, I know...I'm flaky. Get used to it! Let me try to explain...

The above image is of-in my humble opinion-the greatest river guide that Wisconsin has ever produced - Mr. Alton Van Camp. Mr. Van Camp is my Hero. I idolize him. I often wish I could spend a day on the river with him.

So guess what? He is long passed away. As are most of the Great Ones. That is how it goes...we all pass on. Great or common...we all have our limited time on this rock.

Bummer? Only if you are a pessimist. Me? I'm an eternal optimist. I can not understand how you could not be as a musky fly angler!

So I know that my time is short...all of our time is short Sportsfans. Live THE DREAM! Every single day to the fullest!! Find your passion and celebrate it!!!

That is EXACTLY what Zero 2 Hero is about. That is THE POINT!

So what?

Here is what. I can not fish with Alton Van Camp but by living my passion I have come into contact with his family. His grandson sent me a picture that the family cherishes...the one you see above.

You know what? Alton is their Hero as well...they Idolize their Grandfather too...

So he is Alive and Well in many respects!

And you know what? He has a great grandson...who loves to fish! And he has yet to catch a musky...

Here is the kicker folks...

I get to take Altons great grandson out in September to try and catch his first musky on a fly! WOW!!

I'm blown away by this. I get to fish with Alton Van Camp after all!

Live The Dream Friends...

Live The Dream!
