Ken Penrod’s Life Outdoors Unlimited
Beltsville, Maryland
Life Outdoors Unlimited is a multi-guide freshwater and brackish-water operation that states it has been in the guiding business since 1982, working from 4708 Sellman Road in Beltsville, Maryland. It is led by Capt. Ken Penrod, who the business says was enshrined in the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame as a Legendary Guide. His biography page lists National BASS Federation Man of the Year in 1985, Federation of the Year honours in 1985 and 1986, four National BASS Conservation Awards, thirteen regional conservation awards and the Izaak Walton Chesapeake Bay Conservation Award in 1988. It also credits him with two terms as Maryland BASS Federation president, eleven made-for-television fishing shows, six books and hundreds of articles, and the founding of a youth activities programme and Camp Sycamore. The outfit covers most fresh or brackish water in Maryland, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Virginia and Pennsylvania, naming the upper Potomac, the Juniata and Susquehanna in Pennsylvania and the Eastern Shore rivers alongside its tidal Potomac work. There is no lodging or retail side; the business sells guided days only.
