PART 3 OF WNY FISHING SERIES - WILL DALTON

You know, I'll tell you, Donovan, a lot of people have asked me that, and, uh, I'm really passionate about it.

I really enjoy the perks I get from it.

Like, people think I'm a pro and I'm not, man.

I just...

But I, every time I go out, I hook 'em up.

I mean, I've had pros come in with a bag of walleye, and I double it every time.

I mean, I catch a lot of fish.

But, uh, I just, I just feel like the connection started early for me, and it never left.

Because there's nothing like the beauty of connecting with nature.

So it's not always about going to the marina where there's hundreds of other people.

I stream fish in the, you know, in the late fall for trout and all winter, to be quite honest.

And, uh, sometimes when you can just have that peace of mind and that little therapy with nature, it, uh, it kinda eliminates a lot of our hassles and headaches that we have in our typical lives.

Like, like for right now, when...

There's nothing like being out on the lake at night, because I walleye fish, so I go out at 7:00, like right when it's about to get dark.

That's when I go out and I fish until 1:00, 2:00 in the morning sometimes.

But there's nothing like being out there, having that time alone, just, you know, hashing out business and just planning things, and looking back at the city and just reflecting on all of-

Ah, that's-

...

the blessings that you have, that people just overlook the simple, free things in life.

Every day, right? Every day we do.

I'm so glad you said that, Will.

Every day we, we, we kinda lose track.

You get caught up in this rat race, man, and you lose track, and sometimes the best therapy is exactly what you said, man.

It's just...

You know, I'll g- I'll go park sometimes in front of the lake, and just, you just stare out, you know, at, at the windows of the city or the lake, and you just...
