On any given day, Haulotte knows that it can count on the commitment of its teams all over the world. Yet our strength also lies in bridging diverse cultures, backgrounds and personalities, each adding value to our daily activities.

Let’s hear from Chris Gibson who are the champion of fishing.

I was welcomed into the Bil-Jax/Haulotte Team in December, 2019 to lead Marketing and National Accounts for Bil-Jax. In early 2020, I became the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Bil-Jax. My wife, Brenda, and I along with our rescue dog named Freeway and a cat named Snooky live in Toledo, Ohio. We have two adult girls happily living on their own.

As a young boy, I was mesmerized when I watched my uncle use a fly rod to catch fish. He must have known this because, when I was much older, he gifted me his fly rod after he died. I immediately started to use it on the rivers around Cincinnati, Ohio and I soon became hooked on fly fishing for trout.

Over the years, I’ve acquired more and more fishing gear and am fortunate to have great memories from fly fishing many different types of rivers, streams and lakes across the United States. I think my passion for fly fishing springs from three sources.

With family

Connecting with nature must be the first source. Trout live in beautiful areas where the waters run cool, clear and clean. The spiritual and emotional connection that comes from nature gives me a chance to reflect on what is important and to re-charge my batteries.

Fishing for trout is very Challenging. Trout are sneaky, smart and have feeding behaviors developed over thousands of years. The focus needed to simultaneously analyze and adapt to many different variables to trick a trout into taking a fly is a challenge I never grow tired of.

Chasing trout for a day is relaxing and fun, but a day on the water would not be complete without Catching trout. Not only do I get the satisfaction and adrenaline rush that comes from outsmarting a sneaky trout when it takes the fly, but once caught I get to release it back into nature for someone else to enjoy on another day.
