When he’s not behind a set of drums in a concert hall, jazz club, or recording studio, Ben Bilello can be found either on the water or behind the vise.

Ben has spent several seasons chasing sea run Atlantic salmon in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, landlocked Lake Ontario Atlantic salmon in New York and broodstock Atlantic salmon at home in Connecticut. <o></o>
