Our fly fishing guides are some of the friendliest, hardest working and most patient trout fanatics you'll ever meet. We know these
rivers and their inhabitants like no one else. With a profound understanding of both the fish and, sometimes more importantly, the
fisherman, one of our strongest skills is deciphering the code to consistently hooking more and larger fish. We also strive to set a
new (or is it old?) standard in stream-side etiquette and live by a catch-and-release, totally barb-less, leave no trace ethic. Come
and see why our guides are liked by locals and have a reputation for being some of the best in the west.

Joe Mitchell is one of the area's most sought after
guides. He learned to fly fish as a young boy living in
Montana over 25 years ago and has been chasing down
trout with his hand tied flies ever since. He considers
the first ten years of his life as having been wasted on
night-crawlers and spinners. His uncanny ability to find
fish can partly be explained by the fact that he's been
doing it for most of his life. It's no wonder he makes his
living as a professional fly fishing guide and is
considered by many to be a master of his trade.

Joe is also a proud member of Solitude Fly Company's
design team and some of his fly patterns are quickly
becoming western standards. You may already have
some of his bugs in your own collections. Joe's attention
to the science of fly fishing is evidenced by his own
overflowing fly boxes. A true technician, no matter what
they might be eating, he's always got at least a half-dozen
flies in just the right stages, sizes, and colors to match.
When you see the size of some of these trout we're up
against, you'll understand why his fly patterns work so
well. They have to.

Steve Burt is the real deal. Take one look at his
gnarly hands and you'll instantly know what we
mean. We don't know of a harder working, more
effective, and entertaining guy to fish with. If you're
lucky enough to find yourself in his boat, you've
automatically doubled your chances. He'll have you
on to that next fish before you know it, even if it is on
the other side of the river and maybe just a little bit
back upstream. Besides having unrivaled
knowledge and a vast resource of experience to
draw from, Steve is an intuitive guide that just flat
out knows trout, no matter where they swim. Over
the years he's guided throughout the mountain west
on the rivers of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming and
has spent the past ten guiding the trophy waters of
Utah and southwestern Wyoming. In the winter,
Steve heads to the southern hemisphere to guide
the rivers and lakes of Patagonian Chile's 11th
region for Los Torreones Lodge. Visit
www.flyfishpatagonia.com for the chance to fish
these yet untapped waters with Steve in one of the
world's most fantastic landscapes.

Dano Bolton is everybody's favorite guy to fish with, especially
ours. You may lose count of how many fish you catch with him,
but you'll never forget how much you learned and how much fun
you had doing it. Dano grew up fishing the fabled trout streams
in his home state of Pennsylvania, then moved to Park City in
1993. He's been guiding in Utah for the past ten years now and is
easily one of the most recognized and liked guides in the region.
Few people know trout like Dano does, and he's one of the most
boss fly tiers in the business. When he's not guiding wading
anglers on the Provo River and other area streams with us, Dano
is rowing them down the world famous Green River for Old Moe
Guide Service in Dutch John, Utah. His favorite thing yet is
throwing dry flies out of the boat that are so big you could see
them from all the way back at your office. Visit

the greatest dry fly rivers on the planet with one of it's greatest
guides.

Dusty Grabowski was raised in Vermont on a steady
diet of ski racing and trout fishing. He first picked up
a fly rod more than a quarter century ago at the ripe
old age of six. And knowing Dusty like we do, he
probably went right out and caught the biggest fish in
the river with it. Working for Rossignol Ski Company
eventually brought him out west and he now calls
Heber City his home. And lately, like most good ski
bums turned trout bums, he spends more days on the
river than on the mountain. Besides being an
incredibly well-rounded and savvy guide, his
specialty is sight-fishing for big trout. Dusty is
absolutely the best trout stalker we've ever met, and
no one can see fish like he can. In the fall, when he's
not hunting catch-and-release trophy trout, he guides
big-game hunters for trophy elk and mule deer in
northern Utah and Wyoming.

When you see all the pictures of Jeff Fleig holding up all
those huge fish, realize that he is 6'7" and tends to make
things look small. Those are REALLY huge fish to mere
mortals like the rest of us. It's pretty obvious that he's
been living his life right. Jeff started fishing as a child in
the Sierra Nevada and Northern Nevada Ranges around
Reno. He fed his growing interest in trout mostly on the
Truckee River and nearby Lake Tahoe and Pyramid Lake.
After going to college in southern California, he
eventually moved to Utah in 1993 and pursued fly fishing
with abandon, both here and in Montana as well. Going
into his 8th year as a professional fly fishing guide, Jeff is
not only a very experienced and skilled expert, but a
master communicator as well. As well as guiding, Jeff
has been a professional Disc Jockey for 18 years and his
company, High Mountain Music, can help make your
party, wedding, birthday, or corporate event a
memorable one for everyone involved. Visit
www.highmountainmusic.com for more information.

To say that Trevor Howard has fly fishing in his blood
would be a serious understatement. The truth is, he's
got a real legends of fly fishing pedigree. The only third
generation fly fishing guide in the state (that we know of),
becoming a professional guide was just as natural for
him as his ability to catch fish is. You know someone is
great at what they do when they make it look so easy.
You should see what a difference a generous dose of
talent makes, too. His hard work and love for his job
always pay off on the river and his client's loyalty is
testament to that. We think you should jump on the
opportunity to fish with Trevor while you still have the
chance to book him.
