“After struggling through a lot of my ineptitudes, my inner Confucius compels me to try to level out the learning curve for others.”
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it,
does it make a sound?
Verlon Herndon grew up a long way away from here, both geographically and temperamentally, in the flatlands of Oklahoma. An article in National Geographic that featured a photograph of Stanley and the awesome Sawtooth Mountains redirected his focus and brought him to Idaho. Fishing is in Verlon’s DNA, as is fishing ingenuity. His first fishing memory of the sport is attempting to catch a fish out of a concrete-lined ditch with a worm on a safety pin. Though his knowledge of the sport has become almost encyclopedic, the simple pleasures remain.
His dream ending to a great day guiding is a beer on the deck of Lower Stanley’s Bridge Street Burgers & Brew, deconstructing the day with his “partners in crime” and staring at those amazing mountains that were once just a picture in a magazine.
