Terry was destined to become a trout fisher as he was born in Bright on the banks of the Ovens River (a long time ago). His grandpa was a keen trout angler and started teaching Terry from the age of 4. From then on, Terry was "hooked" on trout and has a deep affection for the high country and its sparkling mountain streams. Terry's passion for the valuable wild trout fishery and the health of our mountain streams led him to join the ATF some years ago and 6 years ago he was elected president.
The ATF took heed of the advice offered at the first "Talk Wild Trout Conference" in 2015, being: "Take Care of the Fish, and the Fishing will Take Care of itself". Very wise advice. Since then, the ATF and its army of volunteer members and supporters, has been working together with the VFA, Catchment Management Authorities, DELWP, ARI, Landcare Groups, and thousands of volunteer anglers to restore the health of our waterways by initiating and completing in-stream and riparian habitat restoration projects.
