Independent Guide
**A note from Owner/Operator Steve:** "Fishing and an appreciation for the natural world, seemed to be instilled upon me from my very beginning. I became passionate about fishing right away.

In my early life I spent a lot of my extra time on the river, observing the fish, what they eat, where they hide and how environmental variables affect their appetites and tendencies.

presentation is the key. Knowing were the productive holes are is also imperative. I run only catch and release trips using only barbless hooks for the preservation of wild native fish."

Steve is an exceptional guide whom took the time to instruct my father and I a niche fly fishing technique that produced results over and over again. We caught more fish than any other person on the river, quite possibly more than the other anglers combined. Cannot recommend highly enough.
