In an effort to get back on track- I picked the most challenging person to write about. Ultimately, Erik's personality is dichotimous. You can break it down in to to the sum of it's parts, but as a person he is irreducilby Erik.
The parts are:
Red neck extraordinaire- check out his you tube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/EriksAngling and the bow hunting video 2010 under his favorites. He spent six weeks in the bush last summer guiding for bighorn sheep for "something different". Insane maybe.
Neat Freak extraordinaire- in fact, if something is out of place, Erik notices. yesterday he stopped in here and left water droplets on the desk. he proceeded to wipe them off with his sleeve then proceeded to dust the rest of the desk area while he was at it!
Ultimate Fly Angler Extraordinaire- sure we all have passions, but Erik is nutso. He plans and hand ties all his own flies WAAAY in advance of the season. Other guides are preparing a week before- Erik's got his lined up about a year in advance. He probably has all his pink salmon flies tied for up to 2015.
Sturgeon Hunter Extraordinaire- Admittedly, Erik really isn't your man if you want to use conventional or spinning gear. In fact he loathes it, BUT he treats sturgeon fishing like stalking game. Honestly, if they made a solid underwater game camera, Erik would probably have a whole bunch set up on the Fraser and check them weekly. He has for coyotes and deer at his mum's house in Aldergrove...
Here is a picture from yesterday- one of Erik's favorite places to fish- The Upper Pitt. Yes he goes by himself frequently, and not only with clients. That's passion.
Erik with his lovely twins- who I might add are PERFECT angels (AND they clean up after themselves).
This is when Erik came back from six weeks in the bush and couldn't eat wild game nightly for over 40 days. Pretty sure he puked after the first deer steak he cooked up when he got home...
