NAME: Chris Barrett

How did you get onto Team Ontario?

I qualified through my club and placed third at the 2006 the Hank Gibson Qualifier.

How does being a member of an OBFN chapter help you be a better angler/person?

Being with the club for 9 years I've fished numerous club events with a lot of anglers under a variety of different conditions and at different times of year. I think that experience has helped me refine my presentations and to make quicker on the water decisions. Every new person you fish with does something  a little different than you .I always keep an open mind and never rely to much on a favourite technique or approach a tournament with any preconceived ideas about what patterns should work.

Anyone you want to thank?

I would like to thank my Dad for sparking my passion and my wife and kids for their love and support along with my friends from the Aurora club.
