Ian Slater is one of the most likable people you’ll ever meet. He grew up with a massive desire to win at whatever he pursued. His busy life eventually filtered down to hockey and fishing. It was an equal balance until his college years when he gave hockey everything, and a few years later a professional career became a reality.While playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs farm team he sustained a bad injury. When he was recuperating, he decided he wanted to reinvent himself and pursue a life in the Keys where his dream fish lived.He was soon working at a fly shop, the Angling Company, and guiding the nearby flats of Key West. With his incredible work ethic he rapidly became one of the most successful permit guides. He soon moved his crosshairs to the tarpon game with great friend, Nathaniel Linville. Without a win, yet always in the top 4 placements, they have become one of the powerhouses of the tarpon tour.Today we talk about the nuances of chasing a dream….We hope you enjoy!
