34 Meet the Author

Hi, my name is Trevor! I am a senior at OSU and I wrote this paper during my junior year. I am studying Natural Resource Management with a focus in Administration and management. What inspired me to write this paper is my passion for the outdoors, especially fly fishing. Being an avid fly fisherman for over 12 years, I have learned more about this art and what it truly means to me. To me, fly fishing is more than just a hobby, it is a connection between myself and the natural world that is often looked over. It has inspired me through the years to be an active environmentalist which still inspires me to this day. I find that fly fishing has a direct correlation with spirituality in which we find that connection between ourselves and the natural world. I hope after reading this chapter, it will inspire you to have a deeper connection with the natural world around us.
