Bill Vanderford
Georgia Fishing Editor
Bill Vanderford moved to professional bass fishing in 1971 after a successful auto racing career in Europe. He opened his
guide service on Atlanta's Lake Lanier the same year. He's won both local and
regional tournaments, but since 1977 has concentrated on his guiding, writing
and fishing. Bill has written three books -- one on Lake
Lanier -- and is the first southerner to be inducted into the Freshwater
Fishing Hall of Fame. He's a member of several writer's organizations, is
outdoor editor for the Gwinnett Post Tribune and has a cable TV show, Gwinnett
Outdoors. Call 770-962-1241
