Joseph Cottle

He's probably tying the perfect fly to land the next dream catch.

Joseph was born and raised in Michigan, with a few detours that only made him more loyal to it. He has moved all over the Mitten, left for Colorado as a kid, and even tried Texas and Oklahoma after high school, but Michigan always pulled him back. He judges seasons by fishing conditions, swears by smoked lake trout, and quietly judges anyone who underestimates the U.P. At Snappy Scout, Joseph turns a lifetime of Michigan moves, road trips, and outdoor obsession into local advice that actually helps you land the city of your dreams.
