Regardless of whether you’re a beginner wanting to learn how to fly fish, an angler wanting to improve, or a seasoned veteran wanting to spend an enjoyable day on the water — your needs and interests can be accommodated.
My approach on guiding is to determine your needs and expectations then develop a game plan to best accommodate. I’m lucky to spend a lot of time on the water, but I realize the customer probably doesn’t — and besides, this is your guide trip. Discussing your interests and desires is welcome to help make it an enjoyable day. It’s assumed that you want to catch fish, so that’s understood.
Drawing from both my experience as an angler and fly fishing guide, I work hard to make the day a success for you. As an FFF Certified Casting Instructor I can help make you a better caster and angler while you join me for some time on local waters pursuing the various species available. Let’s Fish.
