“From a personal standpoint, I’m one of those guys that is all things creative,” Dodge told MLive/Kalamazoo Gazette. “I’m a custom bamboo fly rod builder, dealing with measurements down to the 10,000th of an inch. Everything is done with finite hand tools. I custom hand tie all my flies for fly fishing. I love to be out splitting wood, cutting firewood. Anything (to do with) shooting sports … all of that was gone.”
