HISTORY Dan Paradis 1943-2006 Fishing is all about observing and making choices how best to interact with the fish's habitat. The most successful fisherman has learned to match his or her decisions with the rythm of the environment. Such is life. The best lived lives are experienced by those who match their gifts and abilities to their passions and have the courage to pursue their dreams. Dan Paradis discovered this truth while casting a caddis on the Boise River in 1991. Watching a fly drift on a riffle, Dan knew he could combine his knowledge of chemistry with his love of the outdoors and passion for fly fishing. He left his successful career as the technical director of Dexter Aerospace, and his patented products that are still in use today in many of the world's most sophisticated aircraft, to begin a new journey. Loon Outdoors is that journey and the concept is simple; to create environmentally-friendly fly fishing products that perform at an exceptional level. Dan will be missed; but the best way we know how to honor him is to continue the journey. To continue living and pursuing a life filled with our passions. To continue providing envronmentally conscious products that better enable fishermen to find success in all their fishing endeavors. Thank you, Dan. Thank you for living a courageous life, and showing us the joy of pursuing our passions. May you be honored by Loon Outdoors and all the lessons we learned from your life. |
