Ken Penrod

Ken PenrodSome will say that Ken Penrod fishes for a living so that he can hunt for deer in the off-season, but his wife Maggie will tell you that Ken has no "off season." Ken is the owner/operator of the 30-year old, 14 man guide service known as "Ken Penrod's Life Outdoors Unlimited." LOU serves most of the fresh and brackish waters in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware and the District of Columbia for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, stripers, catfish, musky and other species. Known as the Professor of the Potomac, his watchdog efforts to fight pollution and illegal activity while protecting water quality and the river's inhabitants are nationally known.

LOU will escort approximately 1000 persons each year, many of which come from far-away to enjoy world-class fishing experiences on the Tidal Potomac River and the Susquehanna River–as well as dozens of other waters of the region. Ken's personal schedule includes almost 200 trips annually and his clientele has included a President of the USA and a Supreme Court Justice.

Ken was inducted into the "National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame" as a "Legendary Guide" in 1997. He is much more than a guide however because his impact on environmental, conservation and youth activities throughout the region is unmatched. As a President of the Maryland BASS Federation, Ken won many national awards including: Federation of the Year; Man of the Tear; Youth Activities & four national Conservation awards as well as 12 Regional Conservation Awards. He was also awarded the Izaak Walton "Chesapeake Bay Conservation Award" and the Fisherman Magazine "Youth Activities" plaque.

Ken is the author of six books including the extremely popular Fishing the Tidal Potomac River; Fishing The Upper Potomac River; Ken Penrod's Tidal Potomac River Fishing Bible and Pursuing River Smallmouth Bass. For 30 years Ken has written hundreds of articles that provides his readers with the benefit of his experience and there are not many outdoor shows in the region that he is not a featured speaker.

Ken Penrod's Summer Youth Camp is another example of his willingness to share his extensive outdoor knowledge. Ken conducts weekly sessions from his lodge in Pennsylvania where he takes 6 to 8 boys between the ages of 12 and 18 each week during the summer to teach the arts of fishing and shooting.

You can follow LOU's fishing activities during the year by reading Ken's weekly fishing report on his website at www.penrodsguides.com. You will also want to become a fan of his website based "LOU Magazine" that provides articles and essays that deal with the how-to, where-at and when aspects of regional fishing places and techniques.
