That's amazing! Thank you, guys, for all you hard work and dedication.

Both Dave and Jeff are top notch guys and have done a LOT for Indiana's fisheries over their careers. 

Dave has been directly involved and later leading essentially every skamania steelhead spawn in Indiana since the early 1980s. By my estimation that means he's had a direct hand in the creation and stocking of over 15 MILLION skamania steelhead in Indiana

I really enjoyed my visit to Bodine this past fall. Dave was very responsive to questions asked. It was easy to see the pride he has in his job and for Bodine

In our tour I had mentioned that Indiana seemed to be leading the way in lake wide Steelhead numbers, and the fact that Indiana was #1 when looking at the coded wire tag information.
Dave's face really lit up with pride when I had passed that on.
