Lake Powell Anglers Guide

I moved from Tucson to Page in April of 1997 to begin my career as a full time fishing guide on the Colorado river below Glen Canyon Dam in Marble Canyon. For several years, I was head guide at our shop and guided fly and spin fishing clients on the river at least 175 days per year. To date I have guided 2000+ days for 4100+ clients.

I started Lake Powell Anglers Guide Service in May of 2003. As far as my career as fishing guide goes, Powell is where my future lies. I strive to provide the best fishing instruction and information to my clients while having a great time catching the various species offered in our beautiful lake. I will still occasionally guide on the river but I plan to now fish if for fun frequently.

November 2007 marked a new chapter in my life in Page, AZ. I no longer guide full-time on the Colorado River. I now work for the Page Unified School District. I will however, continue to guide on Lake Powell as much as possible.

I am a native of Tucson. I cut my teeth trout fishing in the mountains north of the city at the age of 7. I started bass fishing when I was 20 and spent most days off from my job at a local tackle shop fishing for bass and crappie with conventional gear all around southern and central AZ. I started fishing club and team tournaments in 1990 as a non-boater. While fishing with a wide variety of anglers, you quickly pick up many different techniques. This helped me become a "well rounded" angler. I still employ almost every technique known on what is now my home water, Lake Powell.

I began fly fishing when I was 23 as a break from the tournament lifestyle. I love the artistry of the cast and presentation. I've fished in many western states while chasing trout with the fly rod. I don't get much time to just take off and go fish, but when I do I usually choose fly fishing for trout in small streams. They say you don't find trout in ugly places... that's certainly true.

I have a 23 foot Fish Master center console bay boat made by Polar/Dynasty boats in Alabama. If you've fished on the coast, or seen the Redfish tournaments on TV then you will recognize this type of boat. It handles rough water nicely and fishes up to 6 people. It's equipped with state-of-the-art electronics to make it easier for both finding and catching fish.

I feel very fortunate to live, fish and guide in the most beautiful place in the world. I live in a home full of girls. My lovely wife and our 3 girls, 2, 6 and 17 years old.

Tightlines,
