Your captain
Douglassville, Pennsylvania, United States
Hello, my name is Kevin Moriarty! I grew up on the edge of the Oley Valley and spent most of my time fishing with my dad. He introduced me to fishing, just as his father did for him. My buddy Jesse introduced me to fly fishing; he laid the groundwork for the fly fishing knowledge I have today. As time has passed my interest and passion for angling has grown. My experience ranges from Fly Fishing Guide School In Montana to competing in professional kayak bass fishing tournaments around Pennsylvania and the East Coast. I am a certified Wilderness First Responder and am trained and certified to guide overnight, daily and weekend trips. I have training in river entomology, knot tying, drift boating, jet boating, wilderness medicine, fly casting, kayaking, cooking, ServSafe food handling and food safety management. I also received my Associates in Business, graduating Cum Laude from RACC.
