Anthony Jacques

Hello, I’m Anthony Jacques. As a child, I learned to trout fish walking up and down the canyons of the Sierra Nevada’s. My Father taught me the patience and skills to sneak up on Golden Trout and try to outsmart them. I have been fly fishing for 23 years, mostly in the Pacific Northwest and have been guiding for 6 years in places like the Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming, the Black Foot River in Montana, and the trout waters of Western North Carolina. I love seeing fish come to the surface smashing a dry fly or fishing a cut bank with a hopper dropper rig. I have tied flies commercially and taught many fly tying classes. I look forward to sharing my experience, my passion, and a laugh or two with you on your fishing trip.

Sam Presutti

Growing up on the water, fly fishing has been a part of Sam’s life from a young age. Calling Ohio’s ‘Steelhead Alley’ his home waters, Sam chases steelhead through the colder months and spends summers chasing musky, trout, and bass on the fly. After five years sharing his knowledge of tying and fly casting through the Orvis Company, Sam decided to take his expertise to the waterways of Ohio and Pennsylvania to follow his passion of sharing his love of fly fishing with others through guiding. A patient teacher, Sam loves sharing his love for fly fishing with new anglers and experienced fishers alike.

Austin Ballard

My name is Austin Ballard, I’m 22 years old and fishing has been my passion for as long as i can remember. I was born and raised in Virginia but have spent every summer for the last 14 years fishing all around Wyoming, spending lots of time on the Green River. At eight years old my father took me on my first trip to Wyoming. Our first stop being the Green River and I immediately got hooked.

Throwing dries to rising trout instead of smallmouth was like a whole new sport to me, and I just couldn’t get enough.

Originally from Upstate New York, Josh moved to Jackson 8 years ago. Josh works at 3 Creek Ranch and in his free time guides on the Snake, Green, and New Fork Rivers. He has a true passion for fishing. He is a great teacher and motivator and looks forward to passing along his experience and love of fly fishing. When not guiding, you’ll find Josh on the water, often with his wife Jenny, and two dogs, Timber and Scruggs. Josh’s other interests include music, hunting, snowboarding and travel.

Josh Riddle

My name is Josh Riddle and I’m 38 years old. I grew up in Northwest Michigan. I have been guiding anglers for 16 years on the flats of Lake Michigan for carp and small mouth and the rivers for trout, king salmon and steelhead. I started fishing out West 10 years ago and have been returning every summer for the day and night time fishing opportunities.
