How did you get started guiding?
Actually kinda feel into it. I had a bunch a friends that became guides and kept telling me to start guiding. I was in marine salvage at the time and had been laid off. So I thought I'd try it for a summer and never looked back
What makes you different from other guides?
I think ever guide gives you a unique experience regardless if it's the same style of fishing and everyone does things different. I definitely offer a laid back trip. It's always the customers day and we always try to make their trips with us memorable

We had a great time with Capt Nick. He was very knowledgeable and he really improved our fly casting, which was our objective for this trip. We will be back!
