Fly Fishing Outfitter/Captain and Guide Legend!
MT Outfitter #49437 Years Fishing:25+ Years Guiding: 15 John grew up in Washington State fly fishing for steelhead, salmon and trout in rivers and lakes. In 1995, John started fishing in Montana when his father introduced him to the Big Horn River. Shortly thereafter, he discovered the Missouri River and was forever hooked. Since, he has fished nearly every river Montana has to offer but knew after his first trip on the Mighty Mo, that would one day be a place he would call his home water. He now lives there with the catch of a lifetime...his wife Jennifer and their two labs Kota and Tess. John has guided professionally for over 15 years working out of Washington, Montana Oregon, Idaho, and Wyoming. He has fished recreationally all over North and South America catching 40+ different species on the fly. His favorite is to catch a 20+inch brown on a size 20 dry fly out of the Missouri River. John was also part of a SAGE Fly Rods ad Campaign and ended up on the website and catalogue showcasing new travel gear. As a seasoned guide, he has the patience for working with all skill levels of anglers and will work hard for you whether you’ve been fishing for years or a first timer holding a fly rod. John enjoys spending the day on the water helping others catch fish, because that smile never gets old! He’s not your typical guide offering anglers the typical "Easy" float down whatever stretch of river he's on. He wants to know what you are looking for so he can tailor your trip and make it a unique experience, whether it is DFO (dry fly only) or streamer only fishing. Buglife Fly Fishing |
