History of Spring Creek Outfitters
Spring Creek would like to take a little time to fill you in on a little history of how "We" became.
Like any family, we are a product of our history. Ted's Father, Silver
Dick -(Ted, being the founder of Spring Creek) was a crusty ol' guy,
even when he was young. He had a passion for the outdoors, and an
obsession with a lake with great tasting walleyes and northerns the
size of Moby Dick (or so it seemed). As we know, the canoes of
yesterday, are not like the ones we have today that are sleek and
light. The yokes were hard and punishing. The portages, if there were
portages, were no stroll in the park. The paddles were grueling and the
BWCA was just a hunk of land no one had gotten a hold of yet. Still,
Silver Dick took his family deep into the wilderness, to this "secret"
lake, in search of fish, wildlife and peacefulness.
So, Silver Dick began to create his own gear to make "getting there" a
little easier. It's no coincidence that our company bears the name
Spring Creek. You see, the first portage to our "secret" lake is a two
miler. About half way the Spring Creek draw cuts across the portage
resulting in a treacherous 150 foot drop and climb that challenges even
the most determined canoeist. Our seat/yoke was developed for and
tested on this arduous portage.
Spring Creek still means Family.
We work together and canoe together. We are a family that believes in
creating our own solutions. We each have our own strengths to bring to
Spring Creek which results in this site and our catalog representing
our accessories and most important, our family legacy. We think Silver
Dick would be proud.
