Vice-President/Guide

Chris grew up in Princeton, New Jersey spending his youthful summers chasing finicky trout in the Catskills of upstate New York and quickly developing a curiosity and eagerness to head West. While attending Trinity College in Hartford, CT, Chris saw his opportunity in 2010. Following his Sophomore year, he packed his station wagon and drove to Idaho without anything planned other than WCA’s Western Rivers Guide School in Island Park. The next week of learning, fishing, rowing and camaraderie would alter Chris’ life path more than he ever imagined. Chris was offered the last shop staff job or “summer internship” as it was once titled for the 2010 season and there was absolutely zero hesitation in his immediate acceptance.
Since that fateful summer of 2010, Chris graduated from Trinity College and exclusively worked at WCA in almost every capacity the company offers. From Intern to Shop Staffer to Assistant Outfitting Manager to Guide and Destination Travel Manager to COO and now Vice President, Chris has a deeply involved and intimate knowledge for WorldCast Anglers as a business and a community of guides, clients and anglers alike. This knowledge is only matched by his personal passion and love for the company, the local community and the special destination that is Teton Valley, ID. It has always felt somewhat surreal for Chris as he found his dream job and his dream company at the earliest point in his professional career. This does not go unappreciated by Chris as his gratitude and positivity is imbued into his attitude and work for the company on a daily basis.
Chris currently oversees the day to day operations of WCA’s prolific Outfitting program, the  seasonal employment opportunities at WCA, the Destination Travel program, the Western Rivers Guide School and whatever challenges may arise running a logistically intensive, seasonal small business.
When not on the river or in the fly shop, Chris can be found living the good life of Teton Valley with his girlfriend Beth, snuggling with their Chihuahua Pug (Chug) Blue and planning his next international fishing adventure.

Chief Operating Officer

Tyler grew up in the Midwest chasing everything from bass, walleye and panfish of the local waters in Indiana and Iowa to the native brookies and other wild trout of the rivers and streams in northern Michigan. His passion for the outdoors is rooted and was shaped in the pursuit of the Eagle Scout rank during his years as a Boy Scout. These outdoor skills were honed while on a NOLS semester in the Southwest, also solidifying the need to move to the rivers and mountains of the West. This dream came to light in 2003, heading out to Jackson after graduating from Purdue University. Starting his time with WorldCast Anglers as a host at the famous South Fork Hilton, this relationship grew while managing the Jackson Hole Orvis for the next many years. Tyler graduated from the Western Rivers Guide School and became a guide while hosting at The South Fork Hilton a few years later. During those next few years, the saltwater bug brought him down to the Keys of Florida for a couple winters. Learning another aspect of fishing retail there, he also became an instructor at the Orvis Fly Fishing School of Key Largo all while exploring the massive Everglades to the flats of the Keys. Tyler recently served as Lodge Manager at Deep Water Cay in the Bahamas. Living in another country brought on tons of great learning experiences and allowed for many days of chasing bonefish and permit. It also reinforced the love for the USA and especially the yearning for the rivers and mountains of the West again. He is excited to call Teton Valley his home and proud to be the Retail Manager of WorldCast Anglers.

Operations Manager

Colin grew up in the small town of Richmond, Vermont, living a lifestyle deeply rooted in the outdoors of the Green Mountains. He spent his winters skiing as much as possible at his local mountain, Mad River Glen, and exploring the backcountry of the Green and White Mountains. During the summers, Colin spent his time backpacking, canoeing and fishing in the remote areas of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine with family and friends. His journey to achieving the rank of Eagle Scout helped him develop essential leadership skills and ensured that the outdoors would remain a permanent fixture in his life. At a young age, Colin visited Teton Valley and the greater Yellowstone area with his family, a trip that laid the foundation for his current life in the Tetons. He returned to Teton Valley in 2021 in pursuit of deep snow. During the 2021-2022 ski season, Colin befriended three of his now closest friends, who also happened to be guides for WorldCast Anglers. In the spring of 2022, Colin experienced the endless fishing opportunities of the South Fork for the first time, solidifying his decision to stay in Teton Valley. Colin began his first season at WorldCast in 2023, with the role of Assistant Operations Manager after graduating from the Western Rivers Guide School. After two seasons in this position, he naturally transitioned to the full-time role of Operations Manager.

When he is not on local rivers, Colin spends his time on the slopes of the Tetons, hunting birds, exploring the West, and researching his next adventure.
