JEFF "RECON" MOORE

NFC Executive Director Bob Mallard and Jeff Moore posting the first Maine State Heritage Fish Water sign.

JEFF MOORE was born and raised in Massachusetts. He currently lives in south central Massachusetts, 3 miles north of the Rhode Island border. Jeff learned to fish, mostly for trout, with his father and older brother in the 1960’s & 1970’s. While they fished primarily Massachusetts waters, they also vacationed in the Sandy River area south of Rangeley, Maine. Jeff remembers when the Kennebec River in Maine was still used to float logs to the mills in Skowhegan and Madisorn. He also fishes New Hampshire’s White Moutains region on a regular basis. Jeff is the past President of the Franklin Rod and Gun Club in Massachusetts. A friend of NFC Executive Director Bob Mallard since elementary school, they reconnected in the fall of 2006, when Jeff developed an interest in wild native fish conservation. Since then, Jeff has worked with the MA, ME, NH, and RI chapters of NFC to support conservation initiatives, including helping to post informational signs on the first six State Heritage Fish waters, the first tribal waters to be posted, and was with Bob and NFC National Chair Emily Bastian when they posted the 200th water. Jeff is a superstar volunteer who has been involved hands-on in many NFC initiatives. He can be reached at Info@nativefishcoalition.org
