The Reel Deal Anglers

For us, fishing is a way of life. We employ guides that know the waters and are true fishermen. When they aren’t working, they are usually out fishing for fun.

David has lived and worked in Jackson since the 80’s. He started guiding for the Allen brothers while he was in college. He thoroughly enjoys guiding because of the great people he has had the opportunity to meet. He is married with two children. He enjoys hunting birds with his dogs and big game in the fall and winter months. David has also spent many years backcountry riding in the many wilderness areas surrounding Jackson.

Martin Sanders
Martin has been obsessed with fishing from a very young age. Blessed with a grandfather and dad that love the sport, fishing is truly in his blood. His passion for chasing fish with a fly rod has taken him all over the world, but there is nowhere he’d rather be more than on the Green River when the gray drakes are hatching. He enjoys working with beginners and seeing the “lights turn on” as they learn to cast and catch their first fish. For the experienced angler that wants to fish hard all day long, Martin will not disappoint.

Hunter Keil
Hunter grew up in Upstate New York hunting and has been fishing for as long as he can remember. He developed a passion for fly fishing at a young age, which has since turned into an obsession. Guiding clients and turning his obsession into a profession has been a dream come true for Hunter. When he’s not on the water, he can be found at the vice tying up some flies for the next day.

Kyle Hatlen
Kyle Hatlen, 31, was born in the picturesque state of Colorado, where his passion for fishing began. From the moment he picked up a fly rod, he was hooked, and his love for the sport has only grown since.
Kyle is not just a dedicated angler; he is also a hardworking individual who enjoys discussing various insects and expertly tying flies. His commitment to the fishing community is evident through his role as a board member of Thermopolis Trout Unlimited, where he actively contributes to the preservation and enhancement of trout habitats.
With a deep appreciation for nature and a lifelong dedication to fishing, Kyle’s journey is one of enthusiasm and expertise in the world of fly fishing.

Gideon Le Gros
I am a long-time resident of western Wyoming. Over the past 20 years living in Jackson Hole, I have developed a deep passion for the outdoors, with fly fishing being my greatest interest. I truly enjoy sharing my knowledge of the sport with others. There is nothing more satisfying than helping someone with limited experience catch their first fish on the fly.

Isaac Openshaw
Born in Utah, Isaac has been obsessed with fly fishing ever since he could first hold a fly rod. He’s been blessed with the opportunity to hunt and fish Wyoming’s beautiful landscapes alongside his dad and brothers. He spent his summers growing up fishing and floating on these very rivers he guides on. Isaac spent three summers guiding anglers in Alaska, chasing trophy trout and all species of Pacific salmon.
One of his greatest joys is helping anglers at any stage of their journey—whether it’s a beginner catching their first fish or an experienced angler. He looks forward to creating unforgettable memories on the water.
