Rebecca has fished the rivers of northern New Hampshire for over two decades and knows these waters and surrounding wild places intimately. She approaches fly fishing as a way to slow down, engage the senses, and step into the rhythms of the river—while, of course, catching fish.

She works comfortably with anglers who are new to fly fishing as well as those with some experience looking to build confidence and deepen their understanding of the water. Her focus is on creating an unhurried, supportive day where guests can develop real skill—whether that means learning fundamentals, refining technique, or exploring less-traveled water in search of wild fish.

Introduced to fishing as a teenager by her father, Rebecca understands how intimidating fly fishing can feel at first—the gear, the knots, the language. She is known for her patient, grounded teaching style and her ability to meet people where they are, helping anglers feel at ease and steadily grow in both skill and confidence.

Experienced anglers value her local knowledge and her thoughtful approach to reading water, currents, and trout behavior on these...

How did you get started guiding?

I’ve always been drawn to helping people get outside and feel comfortable building their skills and confidence. A few years ago when my summers opened up a bit, I began guiding as a way to share what I’ve learned about fly fishing and the rivers I know well. I enjoy watching people gain confidence, settle into the pace of the water, and leave the rest of the world behind for a while.

What makes you different from other guides?

I offer a limited number of trips each season in the western White Mountains of NH where I’ve spent many years fishing and exploring. My approach is patient and instructional, focused on helping anglers build real confidence while also slowing down enough to notice the rhythms of the river - its flow, the insects, and other clues about where fish may be and their behavior. It’s a relaxed, immersive experience — not just about catching fish, but understanding the environment. Guests learn how to read the river and leave with skills they can carry forward.
