Meko has ‘rubbed shoulders’ and become friends with an influential group of people because of their love for fly fishing. One of his role models was the late ‘Lefty Kreh’ (continue to Rest in Peace) who was both a friend and teacher to him over the years. He got to meet and grew to love Meko’s son ‘big Mike’ who he believes is the one that will continue the legacy. Lefty will always hold a special and dear place in our hearts.
Lefty started guiding with Meko’s grandfather, David Pinder Sr. in the 1950's at Deep Water Cay Club. Yes, the Legendary David Pinder Sr. is Meko's grandfather.
