Favorite rod
Bio
After breaking-off my first lunker Bluegill on a Missouri farm pond when I was ten, I have found myself all over the country, with fly rod in hand, trying to fool big fish in beautiful water. When I was 13, I got my first dose of Western fly fishing and have done everything in my power to keep myself in the thick of it. I’m now lucky enough to call both Missoula and Livingston, Montana home. Between breaking-off even more fish, and actually landing a few memorable ones, I ended up with a degree in Aquatic Biology from the University of Montana (which comes in second to Montana State for producing the most fishing guides).
I’m currently the Associate Manager for Angler’s West Flyshop and a guide. In the time I have spent on the water, I have seen more remarkable things and met more amazing folks than I ever thought I would. I have been lucky enough to have Western Montana as my playground for most of my life. Whether it is the Bitterroot, Madison, Missouri, or Yellowstone, I have lasting memories on all of them.
Many of these memories have been made possible by Scott fly rods. I truly believe that there is no fishing scenario that Scott Fly Rod Company hasn’t thought of and designed a great rod for. Pack a G2 for the dries and an S4 for basically everything else. Scott continues to impress while making every single rod in the United States. I’m proud to be a member of that tradition.
