WHO WE ARE

Who We Are

The key to a successful day of guided fishing for a fishing guide is to understand and accommodate the expectations of the clients. The key to a successful day of fishing for the anglers is to be present in the moment, create an amazing moment, and enjoy the experience and fishing that the Greater Yellowstone Region has to offer. It may be the 20 inch trout you caught, it may be the magical views downstream, or it may be the sound of the water swirling at your feet as you watch fish rise and feed. The sensory enjoyment can come in many ways. Let us take you there, and show you patience, encouragement, knowledge, and fun on your personal fishing adventure.

Expert angler, or first time fly fishing....dry fly only or streamer junkie...there are lots of ways to catch a fish, and have fun!
Let us reveal our love for fishing and share that with you.
