Background:
Rob Gross, of Spring Grove, Minnesota, has been fishing the Mississippi River for over 30 years. He literally was raised in the backwaters of Pool 9. Rob (aka Yattering Jack) runs a local not-for-profit youth fishing program in SE Minnesota called The Fishing Tree. Located on the web at www.thefishingtree.com. He tries not only to educate children (young & not so young) on fishing, species, habitat, lure selection and techniques, but also tries to equip them with proper gear to start them off right. He dedicates much of his free time towards this venture. Rob is a heavy advocate of the 'Take a Kid Fishing' approach in hopes of building a new generation of angler and ensuring a strong love for fishing in the Midwest. Rob runs The Fishing Tree Bass Guide Service on the Mississippi River Pools 8 & 9 and The Fishing Tree Trout Guide Service on numerous streams in SE Minnesota and NE Iowa with all profits above expenses going to support local youth fishing. Rob also designs bass lures and is currently working toward the production of a new line of frog lures.
