Nick " Gunny " Donovan

Enter Nick Donovan.

This east coast transplant is nothing but solid fisherman, cleverly disguised as a 9-5 working parent. While he admits openingly to loving his wife and kids, he will also admit that in his list of priorities, they come second to trout. BTC asked around the angling community about stories and tales of Nick on the water, and the feedback was shocking. One such angler reported that Nick once gave mouth to mouth to a dying coho salmon, and before outings, may or may not sacrifice live chickens to the fish gods for good luck. We don't see the connection.

Either way you cut it, with a resume like that, it's no wonder he's been invited to what is undoubtly the greatest fly fishing tournament known to man. The gear he uses is completely secretive and said to have been made by the same man who makes the pope's hats. Only time will tell where Nick ends up on the scoreboard at the First Annual Hienz Skitzvelvet Invitational folks!

 Stay up to parr with more info and profiles in the next week!
