Canoeist, Former Solo Freestyle Canoe competitor, wilderness tripper and Fly Fishing Guide. I started Solo canoeing in the mid 80's and began my freestyle experience through the 90's. Since then, I enjoy wilderness tripping and exploring the remote canoe routes of Boundry Waters, Quetico and various rivers of Michigan and Ontario. The canoe and paddle is my secret connection to the natural world. Jeff Hessler 8/27/23
