JEFF MOORE

Jeff Moore fishing a wild native brook trout stream in New Hampshire.

JEFF MOORE was born and raised in Massachusetts. He learned to fish, mostly for trout, with his father and older brother in the 1960’s & 1970’s. While they fished mostly Massachusetts waters, they also ventured to the Sandy River area south of Rangeley, Maine. He also remembers when the Kennebec River in Maine was still used to float logs to the mills in Skowhegan and Madison. Jeff is the past President of the Franklin Rod and Gun Club in Massachusetts. A friend of NFC Executive Director Bob Mallard dating back to elementary school, they reconnected in the fall of 2006, where Jeff developed an interest in wild native fish conservation. Since then, he has worked with the MA, ME and NH chapters of NFC to support conservation initiatives, including helping to post the first six State Heritage Fish waters in Maine, the first tribal waters to be posted, and he was with Bob and NFC National Chair Emily Bastian when they posted the 200th water.
