LET'S GO FLY FISHING

With 11 years of experience, I still remember my first trout, a Tiger Trout caught on an Elk Haired Caddis. That moment hooked me for life! I love fishing everywhere, but I feel confident in getting clients into fish on the Weber, Ogden, Logan, Uintas, and Native Cutthroat waters for the Cutthroat Slam. My goal is to provide clients with a memorable experience and help them develop their skills to catch fish on their own.

I’ve been living and breathing fly fishing for the past 7 years. Born in Mountain View, Wyoming, and raised in Utah, I love spending time on the Weber and Provo Rivers, as well as the high mountain streams in the Uintas. I also enjoy fishing in larger bodies of water like Strawberry Reservoir. With a sense of humor and a passion for sharing amazing fishing adventures, I love showing people what this state has to offer.

My love for fly fishing started in 2019 on a small stream in Utah catching a 6-inch Brookie. I caught the fly fishing bug immediately. I got a fly rod for my birthday shortly after and never looked back. I have a passion for researching new streams and areas to go explore to test my knowledge and skills. I am experienced in northern and southern Utah and a variety of methodologies. Currently, I am getting familiar with the waters in my new home state of Virginia.

Four years ago, my uncle introduced me to fly fishing, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Catching my first fish sparked a passion for exploring waters—from Utah’s high mountain streams to hidden southern gems. Each trip is a chance to learn, improve my cast, pick the right fly, and enjoy nature. I love discovering new spots, testing my skills, and growing as an angler. At 16, I’m eager to help others with their fly fishing adventures and share the thrill of that next big catch.

Born and raised in northern Utah, I’ve spent over 15 years fishing and exploring our mountains and rivers. For the past 7 years, I’ve focused on Euro/tight line tactics, mainly on the Weber River. If not there, I’m on the middle Provo or the Greys River in Wyoming. My go-to fly patterns are the Silver Bullet, Jack Daniels, Sowbug, Olive Perdigon, and my homemade Micro Streamers. When not fishing, I’m a wrestling coach, and I enjoy spending time with my wife and three kids.
