Member since January 2020 Sterling, United States
Background
What sets me apart is my selflessness and generosity on the river. Most guides start guiding so they can fish more, only to realize guiding is not fishing. I will present you with an honest opinion on what trip is best for you personally. From there, I will go above and beyond to put in the extra time and effort needed to make the trip unique and exceptional for you. I understand this trip is about you not me and I will cater the trip to your liking based upon the conditions at hand. My passion for the fish and the region are apparent from the beginning and you will no doubt have an enjoyable day on the water.
Techniques
We primarily drift fish and back troll out of custom built 20 ft aluminum drift boats and river sleds. We utilize every technique legally allowed to ensure you a successful day on the water. We even cater to fly fisherman.
