He caters his trips to all ages and skill levels and welcomes you aboard to catch fish and enjoy one of America’s most untouched landscapes.

You’ll be able to target hard-fighting trophy fish such as Rainbow Trout, Steelhead, Stripers, Catfish, Sunfish, Smallies, and Largemouth Bass. Once you reach the fishing grounds, you can try out a few techniques like casting, jigging, trolling, handlining, or bottom fishing.

You’ll be provided with top-quality Ugly Stik, Orvis, and Daiwa equipment, as well as live bait and lures. Just be sure to bring sun protection, comfortable clothing, and your fishing license (Arizona or Nevada), and the rest will be covered.

I've been fishing my whole life, mostly fly fishing. As I got into guiding wilderness trips and working as a wilderness river ranger, my fishing techniques and interests grew. After over a decade of guiding and getting a Master’s degree in Freshwater Ecology, I decided I should run my own outfit.
