| I'd like to make it known that there are some online resources available to folks interested in row trolling. While this unique little technique of fishing is primarily practiced by musky fishermen there are also walleye and other anglers who enjoy catching fish by "human powered" boats. There is a website available at www.row-troller.com . This is the home of the folks who annually host the Bob Ellis Classic row trolling tournament in Presque Isle, Wisconsin. I have also just started a Facebook page as an interactive supplement to the website. You can find the FB page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Row-Tr...69775133040597 .
I'd encourage anyone having an interest in this sport to take a look and join us. Although the row trolling community appears to be dominated by a bunch of us old curmudgeons we have an increasing number of people in all age and gender groups and for the most part we're pretty friendly. Above all we are passionate about the sport. |

| Pete,
Thanks for posting this info.
I first met Bob when I was 12 or 13 and fishing on Island Lake. It was a hot summer day and he invited me to his place to take a break and have a cold soda. I would stop by and talk when ever I fished Island Lake
Thirty years later I began rowtolling myself and think of him every time I go out.
Not only was he a legendary fishermen, he was even a better human being.

| Thanks Craig. I never had the opportunity to meet the man but have heard many stories of him. All good and frequently inspiring. He almost singlehandedly kept the sport alive. Of course there are others who have been advocates and experts over the years. Love talking to Buckshot Anderson about the old days too. |
