Lake Meyer naturalist Larry Reis published his passions
“I look to wild places for solitude and contentment,” explains Lake Meyer Naturalist and author Larry Reis from Calmar as he talks about the enjoyment of fly fishing in Montana and the excitement of working with his oldest son Dan on their first book together about trout fishing.
“I’ve been fortunate to be a naturalist for the Winneshiek County Conservation Board for over thirty years now. I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned about nature through the years with others and give either outdoor or indoor programs about birds or wildflowers or trees to interested audiences.”
His hobbies revolve around the outdoors, from hunting, fishing, fly-tying, bird watching, nature photography, rock hounding, canoeing and collecting delectable mushrooms when he isn’t journaling about nature. He also has done well with his watercolor paintings that he creates by making his own natural paint, though he confesses that it has been awhile since he picked up a paintbrush.
