Like the song says-“ Love him or hate him”, Tred is what he is, but he’s the real deal. What you see is what you get- Devoted, Focused, Self-deprecating, True to his word and True to his Task, (all while going a mile-a-minute). I trust my life in his hands, just as he’s trusted his in mine. There’s no higher place in my world than that, and remember, “the wind always blows harder at the top of the mountain”…
All the best Tred, Fish On!

Lawrence Euteneier- "I first met Tred when we both showed up to compete in an America Cup International Fly Fishing Tournament. While most of us were using 4 and 5 weight fly rods, Tred insisted on using a one-weight, and he pulled it off. During lunch break on day three, Tred pulled out his Barta Bow and gave me a few lessons. Sure, we had the rest of our team members running for cover, but from that point on our friendship was sealed."
