Since a young age, Ian has aspired to learn and participate in all things related to fishing. Ian joined the New Plymouth Sportfishing and Underwater Club in the early 2000’s and from there has worked his way from helping around the club, to being on the club committee, club NZSFC delegate since 2015 and now NPSUC President. Ian has a strong interest in sport fishing, including light tackle and also furthering the capability and coverage of sport fishing in New Zealand – especially making sport fishing accessible and easily understandable.
