Born in Portland and raised in McMinnville, Oregon, Allan has been fishing for most of his life — from the rivers of the Willamette Valley to the Oregon coast, Cabo San Lucas, and the California Pacific. His oldest brother Steven runs a sports fishing business in Oregon. This blog is his way of sharing what he's learned.
