Ron Lindner and Tim Lesmeister shared some stories at the NPAA conference a few years ago, reminiscing about days gone by. A lot of young anglers were enamored with the tales of those early times.
For my last blog I profiled a man who made a huge impact on the fishing community. Ron Lindner was a giant and his contributions to the world of fishing are why we, as anglers, have evolved to the place where we are today. Let’s look at some examples.
Prior to Ron and his brother, Al, coming onto the fishing scene, most of the outdoors publications printed stories strictly “me and Joe” pieces. The authors would relate their experiences about a wilderness trip or an amazing vacation destination. Back when the Lindner beacon first began to shine there were a few publications cropping up that were how-to oriented, but the Lindners took it to a level that no one had seen before.
