Blaine Mengel, Jr.
hosts
THE BACKWOODS ANGLER TV Show.
Blaine is
owner of
The
Backwoods Angler Guide Service in Eastern, PA since
1999. He spends close to 200 days annually fishing and
boating the pristine waters of the middle Delaware. Blaine
cut his teeth pursuing trout
from the freestone and limestone streams of Northampton and
Monroe Counties in Eastern PA. In 1999, he decided,
with the help of some dear friends, to leave the medical
field and pursue his dream and fish for a living.
Although he’s tangled with Peacock Bass in Hawaii,
Northwestern Ontario Northern Pike, and Maine smallmouth
bass, The Delaware River and its feisty smallmouth bass are
his specialty. Blaine has also guided clients
successfully on the Susquehanna, Schuylkill and West Branch
Delaware Rivers. Blaine is a freelance writer for The
Reading Eagle Newspaper and New Jersey |
|
Angler Magazine. He has
authored two books; The Delaware River Smallmouth Bass
Fishing Handbook, Volumes 1 and 2. He was fishing
editor for The Outdoor Adventurer for more than 3 years, and
has been featured in Bassin’ and In-Fishermen magazines. He
also does numerous seminars and speaking engagements
annually.
Sponsors include
Mizmo Bait Co.,
Gamma Fishing Line, Case
Plastics, Pradco, Shimano, Interstate Batteries, Costa Del
Mar sunglasses, and Don’s Handcrafted Jigs. Blaine
resides in Eastern PA and is the father of three lovely
daughters. |
