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.

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.

Austin - Jackson Wyoming Fishing Guide

Austin Ballard

My name is Austin Ballard, I’m 28 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.

David Quinn

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.

Donicio Gomez

Donicio “Donny” Gomez was born in Colorado and grew up casting bamboo fly rods. Ever since his first fishing trip more than 30 years ago, he’s been answering the call of big water and big fish. Donny considers the rivers and lakes of western Wyoming his home waters, and he never stops fishing until the big one is in the net. He has been guiding for XX years on waterways of all kinds from the Green River to Costa Rica, and he’s always exploring new places. A trip with Donny is typically part high-adventure, part entomology class, and part stand-up comedy act. Ultimately, however, Donny is best known for treating his clients like family and working hard so that every trip is as fantastic as possible

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.

Tyson Doney

Tyson was born in Idaho close to the majestic waters of the snake and Henry’s fork. Tyson was introduced to fly fishing at the young age of 12. It was always a pursuit, but even more so as Tyson finished his great service to our country (with tours to Iraq) that he realized fly fishing soothes the soul with happiness and inner peace. His new “mission” is to share that passion with all his clients. But don’t let that big smile fool you, Tyson won’t stop fishing until that big fish is in the net.

Wyoming Fly Fishing Guide - Will

Will Scheland

I’m Will Scheland from Bentonville, Arkansas. I have grown up with a love for fishing. I have always loved every kind of fishing but didn’t really gain a love for fly fishing until about 6 years ago. I now spend any free time I have out in the water trying to catch and species I can on the fly rod. I go to Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. I love catching rising trout on dry flies just as much as redfish on crab streamers. I have a great love for the fish and water that they live in and I am excited to share my passion of fly fishing through guiding.
