Fly fishing is one of Mike’s greatest passions. He began fly fishing at the age of 12 and has fished with nothing but a fly rod since. Mike spent his childhood catching native brookies in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He fished throughout Maine while attending college and moved out West to attend graduate school and hit fly fishing pay dirt. During that time he lived within casting distance of one of Northern California’s great steelhead rivers. While guiding, he splits his time between Twin Bridges, Montana and Island Park, Idaho. After guiding on the great rivers in Southwest Montana for 11 years, in 2009 Mike became a Montana Licensed Outfitter. He can handle all your Southwest Montana fly fishing needs on the Big Hole, Beaverhead, and Madison as well as the great rivers of Eastern Idaho — Henry’s Fork, South Fork, and the Teton. Mike calls Twin Bridges, MT home where he is the Executive Director for the Fishing Outfitters Association of Montana (FOAM) and self-employed as an ecologist.
