Nerds Who Fish is a private, membership-based community for people who work in tech and love the outdoors. Here's why I built it and what it is.

I built a simple app to help me learn to identify Ohio fish like second nature.

Joey Stout loves programming so much that he couldn't stop at doing it for work. He fills his free time building open source projects and tinkering with whatever catches his interest. Off the clock, he's a dad of four, an avid hunter, dedicated fisherman, and die-hard hockey fan. He documents both his technical projects and outdoor adventures at theoutdoorprogrammer.com, and you can find his YouTube channel linked there as well.
