Tributes to Jennifer Stelly

Cindy Adler

This picture was from 2018 on Caddo lake and

I was lucky enough to draw her again this year

(2022) on Caddo. Jennifer is always someone a

co wants to draw because she puts in the effort

in practice, and she’s a ball of knowledge when

it comes to fishing.

We all know Jennifer has a quiet and calm demeanor. The first time I fished
with Jennifer I was a co-angler. We were fishing very pleasantly together...until I

caught THE fish. She was focused on fishing shallow and staying a good distance

from the bank. I could see we were approaching a laydown in about 10’ of water.

As we started to pass fairly close to it, I asked Jennifer, “Are you going to throw at
that laydown?” She said, “Naw, you go ahead.” After the boat passed it, I turned

and threw a black/blue senko down the side of it...BAM, the fight was on! I will

never forget her expression as she stood there and looked at me; I didn’t know
if she was going to try to throw me overboard or swing a

rod at me! Luckily, she just shook her head and said, “I bet

I don’t pass up another laydown”, then turned around and
kept on fishing. I truly enjoy Jennifer, and that experience

with her will be one of my favorites.

Frank is a great bass caddie! I’ve always known him to be

nearby to help Jennifer with whatever she needs, but still

give her space to enjoy the limelight.
