Dale DePriest
President/Owner: Dale DePriest founded Mission Lodge in 1984 while winding down a 25 year career in the HVAC business. Although a second career, fishing is Dale's number one passion with more time on the water than most of us dream of. Most anglers who have ever met Dale, want to come back in their next life as him.
