From high school on whenever Todd had free time, he went fishing by himself, with friends, or with family. After college Todd was introduced to fly fishing. What started out as a fun activity rapidly grew into a passionate pursuit that stretched from the Midwest all the way out West. Those travels finally landed him in Bend, Oregon, where Todd truly began his adventure as a fishing guide for hire.
For three years in Oregon, he put clients on some of the greatest Brook, Brown, and Rainbow that lived in the waterways of the great state of Oregon His favorite guiding experiences were the limited weeks in late March were he guided his clients to monster Bull Trout on a local lake near Bend, Oregon.
Todd genuinely enjoys sharing what he has learned about all things fish over the past 40 years. Sometimes he gets more excited than his clients when THEY catch these massive fish! Being a trained educator, and by nature a people pleaser, he is able to give guidance in a friendly and understandable way, which inevitably leads to a very enjoyable day on the water. All of these experiences on the water and with the fish led him to earnestly pursue his business, to where it stands today as a success with hundreds of clients spread throughout the world.
