I have a passion for river fishing that was born in the Wallowa River Valley of Northeast Oregon.  I grew up fishing for steelhead, rainbow trout and bull trout within a short--and sometimes long--walk from my front door.  After spending summers in Alaska for many years, I decided to settle here by the Anchor River permanently and have since fished many rivers and streams all over the state.  But nothing compares to my experiences on the Anchor River.  Steelhead, King Salmon, Silver Salmon, and an abundance of Dolly Varden populate the Anchor and provide a fisherman's dream recreational opportunity.  

 For years I was an Assistant Big Game Hunting and Fishing Guide for various outfitters in the state, and a deckhand on Sport Fishing boats. I have seen clients disappointed by their experiences with other guides or boats.  I believe anyone who comes to this great state and this great river, should be treated to the best hospitality, the best information, and the best service any Alaskan can offer.  I enjoy nothing more than seeing another person's joy when they catch a chromed-out beast of a steelhead or salmon on the Anchor River. I truly love fishing and sharing this river with others.
