On May 9, 2024 we tragically lost a tremendous sportsman, friend, partner, brother, and son. Drew’s last weekend earthside was spent on his beloved Otter Creek fishing the walleye season opening weekend with his best friends, family, and fellow riverrats. We can think of no better way to honor his memory than taking to the river and spending the weekend his favorite way. Please join us to help fundraise for the Lake Champlain Walleye Association and Vermont Youth Fishing Organizations, who ensure that our Lake Champlain Basin walleye fishery stays strong and resilient and that future generations learn to love fishing the way .
We have established Fish like Drew, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, to honor Drew’s memory and love for the Vermont outdoors. Fish like Drew’s mission is to fundraise in support of organizations that aid in the preservation and restoration of the natural aquatic resources of the Lake Champlain basin, that foster thriving ecosystems, support wildlife, local communities, and recreational fishing opportunities for all.
