Guiding

I have spent my entire life working in the sport fishing business, from working in tackle stores to working as a fishing guide in Alaska. I wrote the best selling book “Fly Fishing for Beginners” a few years ago, and I have also made several instructional DVDs. I am a licensed Coast Guard Captain with many years of experiencing operating boats on waters near and far. 

Stream Trout Fishing

I have over 30 years of experience on local trout streams, and whether you are a beginner looking to learn new techniques, or an experienced trout angler looking to target larger, more difficult fish, you can be sure that I will put you on fish.

Smallmouth Fishing

More people come to fish smallmouth bass with me than anything else. The upper Mississippi is one of the only “destination fisheries” in the state, and people come from all across the country to fish there. Smallmouth bass are willing biters, and respond well to a wide variety of presentations.
