N.E.I.T.A. bio

 Hi,

 My name is Bill LaVigne and I live in Fort Wayne, And I love to fish!

 I’ve fished since I can remember which is back when I was about 5 or 6 years old and lived in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Up there TROUT is king and that’s all I knew existed till moving to Indiana at the age of 10. 

 Since then I fish for everything. I still love to fish for trout and spend most of the summer concentrating on them in our lakes in Northern Indiana. Usually I troll with downriggers, but I’ll spend more than a few trips bobber fishing day and night. 

I also spend lots of time pursuing walleyes and smallmouth, and usually find time for a couple bluegill trips. Since I’m retired now, my boat doesn’t get much time to dry out once the ice leaves. And it’s had to break ice a few times to get out. 

I’ve been a N.E.I.T.A. member since about 1998 and have served on the Board of Directors since about 2000. I was the President from 2006 thru 2008.

 Hope to see you on the water,

Bill
