BRET NELSON
BRET NELSON Growing up in South Florida, Bret fished the beaches, ponds, and estuaries since he was young kid. Having always loved the outdoors led to him becoming an avid camper, angler, and diver. Bret moved to Georgia in the fall of 2006 and quickly became addicted to trout fishing and since then has focused on fly fishing, fly tying, and casting. Bret holds a Masters degree in Psychology and is a licensed professional counselor specializing in working with disadvantaged children and adolescents. As a counselor he teaches on a daily basis and frequently uses fly casting instruction and fishing as a means to engage his patients in problem solving and self-esteem building. In addition to recreational angling Bret is an active member in the fly fishing community and is actively involved in several angling groups including Team Dead Drift: Georgia's Competitive Fly Fishing Team. Bret is also on the board of Directors for North Georgia Trout Online, Inc., a non-profit organization 501(c)(3) dedicated to the promotion and protection of trout fishing in North Georgia.
