"After viewing television footage of the disaster, I was looking for a way I could help the people of Lake Delton. I put together a rough outline and called Dan Small, a friend and voice of the Midwest outdoors.
Working with Dan's input, this project would be enhanced; we could act together as good stewards of the American outdoors for men and women all over the USA. Doing so has always been a goal of mine.
The American public will come together to support the restoration of the Lake Delton fisheries. A natural disaster of this proportion will not defeat those of this region or it's hard working people."
