Jack's fishing ventures have led him to explore diverse landscapes, from Alaska and Canada to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, and South America. During the 90s, he ventured into the uncharted waters of Chile, guiding and exploring watersheds that had remained relatively untouched. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe inception of The Evening Hatch began as a modest dream in 1988.
