Rick Clunn’s "Angler’s Quest" website has been created to support and promote the "Angler’s Quest" masters fishing course.

All other media forms collectively do a good job of teaching angling from the basics, to even the advanced, at least from a mechanistic and an intellectual perspective. This certainly needs to be continuously addressed by the learning angler, but is it enough?

My evolution, as an angler, included this absorption of information, but it was not enough! Even after digesting all current intellectual knowledge and becoming the mechanistic equal of the best, I continued to fail more often than succeed. Even worse, it became boring and unfulfilling. Something was wrong or something was missing.

"Angler’s Quest" has been founded as an educational vehicle to publish a continuing "masters" fishing course in a magazine format. Our primary goal is to teach angling as an art. Our desire is to address the complete angler and all his/her potential. Our teaching will expand your awareness of ordinary and extraordinary senses, intellect vs intuition, positive vs negative thought patterns, creative visualization, the known vs the unknown, and the connection between intuition, purpose, spirit, and beyond.

As a membership organization and as a research group, we encourage our members to blend our knowledge and research with their own experiences. We will provide an open forum to share known information and to explore new information. Members will receive our course making them aware of the leading edge in angling ideas and techniques. Knowledge must translate into performance; otherwise, it is just worthless baggage. Achieving the "zone" in sports allows one to perform at an extraordinary level. Angler’s Quest will show anglers how to achieve this quantum leap in performance.

Equally important will be reconnecting the angler with the intricate web of life. Only through understanding the purpose of all of creation do we achieve true respect and reverence. The ultimate angler works in harmony with creation, a part of, not separate from. At the simplest level we hope to provide a deeper appreciation of each day on the water. At the highest level we hope to help a few touch perfection in that which they most love to do.
