With decades on the water, we know what makes a great day fly fishing — steady instruction, the right water, and a relaxed approach. Every trip is built around your goals, whether you’re new to the sport or chasing your next big smallmouth.
We focus on the full experience — not just the fishing. From personalized instruction to the moments between casts, everything is designed to give you more than just a trip. Here’s what we bring to the boat every time.
With over 35 years on the water, I bring the lessons and local knowledge that only come from a lifetime of chasing fish.
We guide quiet, underfished stretches of the Upper Mississippi and its tributaries — places most anglers never get to see.
From the Ro Deville drift boat to quality rods and flies, everything on board is selected for comfort, control, and performance.
Whether you’re a beginner, a seasoned fly angler, or somewhere in between — every trip is tailored to your pace and goals.
These are the kinds of days we aim for — whether it’s your first fish on the fly or a personal best smallmouth. Every photo here tells a story, and we’d love to help you create your own.
The fish are waiting, and the river’s calling. Whether you’re brand new to fly fishing or looking to chase your next personal best, we’ll make it a trip to remember.
