The Wild Life, with Mark Taylor

Missing the West

I had to laugh when I got this e-mail from friend Scott Martin, who lived in Idaho before taking an economic development job in Franklin County a few years ago.

"Posting the steelhead pictures was uncalled for.

I remember in Boise they used to release the excess salmon in the Boise River for a “false” season. It was a short time deal, but it was a trip to see guys out with huge rods and reels chasing 30 lb salmon in the center of town.

Think we could do that for the Roanoke River in town?"

Mark Taylor.

While growing up in rural Southern Oregon, Mark Taylor developed a passion for the outdoors while he and his younger brother tagged along with their father on fishing, hunting and camping adventures.

Graduating from Northwestern University in 1988, Taylor spent four years as an officer in the U.S. Navy based in Norfolk before moving into journalism.

After five years writing about the military for a Norfolk-based publishing company, he became the outdoors editor at The Roanoke Times in 1998. He lives in Roanoke with his wife and twin daughters.
