Greg Roberts
Where it comes to Bigfoot... Greg Roberts first direct encounter with a Bigfoot happened in the Sky Lakes Wilderness of Southern Oregon in August of 1984. However, it was not until January of 2008 before he had concrete proof that what he had heard in the Sky Lakes Wilderness in 1984 could have only been a vocalization made by a Bigfoot. No other known animal makes the sound he and a companion heard at 2:30 in the morning echoing out of the darkness. Since 2008, Greg has been a dedicated Bigfoot researcher and investigator. He has had dozens of direct encounters. He has also worked in affiliation with the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, and also as a resource for the North American Bigfoot Center located outside Portland, Oregon. His years of research and investigation has led to several findings that he was the first to call attention to. Some of those, you are going to hear directly from him.

Joe Hennigan
From a young age I have always loved to fish and wanted to share my passion for the outdoors with others. Fortunately I had a Grandfather who also shares in this passion. He taught me how to row a drift boat and run a jet boat as a kid. As well as fishing for trout, bass, salmon and steelhead. Although the tactics have changed over the years all my knowlage is based off some of those first tips and tricks he showed me.
My guiding career really got started when I had the opportunity to go to Montana and guide fly fisherman on some beautiful rivers. But my love for Oregon and chasing salmon and steelhead made that a shorter adventure then I originally planned. After coming back I started to focus more on learning the tricks to the ocean fisheries and bottom fishing. Being able to offer a veriety of trips for my clients was the goal.
Oregon is a very special place as it offers a very diverse opportunitys for sportsman. We can fish for something almost year round.
