Benny Sip in a second …

I am a former professional footballer, fly fishing guide, published writer, author of A River Runs and current World record holder of the 4UR Fly Fishing Marathon with a time of 1:33:45.

These days, I can usually be found on the touchlines of a football pitch where I will likely be sitting on a ball shouting enthusiastically at some kidz or honing my craft on twitter.

I am a native Minnesotan, currently residing in beautiful Aotearoa - New Zealand, where I fish and get outside every minute I can w/ @s1mstagrams, Goose and Mav.

“The great river flows, 

From the mountains to the sea,

I am the river,

The river is me."

This whakatauki (proverb) defines the Iwi (Maori people) 

of the Whanganui River and region of Aeotearoa, New Zealand.
