I’ve been fly fishing for over 25 years, driven purely by the joy, challenge, and connection to nature that the sport brings. For the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of guiding others on the water, sharing my knowledge and passion along the way. As a fully licensed guide with experience in both freshwater and saltwater environments, I tailor each trip to match your skill level and interests, whether you're chasing trout in cold mountain streams or casting for bass and sunfish in warmer, slower waters.

The region offers a rich variety of game fish, including Rainbow, Brown, and Brook Trout, with Sunfish and Smallmouth Bass found in other select locations. This is a walk-and-wade experience, so be prepared to cover some ground by foot as we explore productive stretches of water. You’ll need to bring your own waders and wading boots, and I recommend contacting me in advance so I can help you prepare with details on what to expect.

Please ensure that everyone in your group purchases a valid local fishing license ahead of time. With the right preparation and mindset, this guided fly fishing trip can be a truly memorable and rewarding adventure.

We had a great time with Stu on Sunday. He was patient with us, and took his time teaching us different ways to cast out depending on the terrain. We shared lots of laughs throughout our time together. He is a highly skilled fly fisherman and shared his knowledge with us. We highly recommend him as a guide and teacher. Thanks Stu!!

Amazing first time fly fishing experience

VERIFIED

Captain Stu was very knowledgeable and very accommodating, especially for new anglers. He taught my wife and myself how to fly fish and within minutes we were casting our own lines getting bites. He is very friendly and genuinely a good guy. Definitely will be booking more trips with captain Stu and I recommend anyone who is on the fence or thinking about it to just do it. You will not regret it!
