Instilling A Love Of The Outdoors, Angling and Conservation In All


Company Mission

Striving to protect the future of fisheries by inspiring more advocates for fishing and the environment through:

 

Creating Memorable Experiences

Sharing a passion for the sport through exceptional guided trips with the goal of creating more engaged anglers to protect the sport they love. The more voices standing up to defend subsistence and recreational fisheries, the better chance of success. 

 

Education

Teaching new and veteran anglers more than pure fishing skills. Today, many fisheries stand in the balance, and there are many ways each individual angler can contribute to the fight to save our environment.

 

Advocacy Work

Volunteer work on educational events and watershed restoration projects, along with supporting organizations that fight for our environment in Local, State, and Federal Governments.

About Me

IMG_0847.JPEG

I was extremely fortunate to grow up in Colorado with the Frying Pan and Roaring Fork Rivers to proudly call my training grounds. As an avid outdoorsman, angler, whitewater kayaker, and Eagle Scout; I acquired thousands of hours reading, running, and fishing rivers in the early years. After 25 years of boating and fishing for a variety of species all around the world, I’ve concluded it’s all about the experience. From high-mountain trout, to redfish, snapper, tuna, steelhead, and bass on both fly and conventional gear; I’ve enjoyed everything about being out on the water and leaving the stress of life behind. I have focused on fly fishing because fly fishing offers the best opportunities to find solitude, slow down, and immerse yourself in nature. I love sharing the experience with everyone.
