I am an avid flyfisher since the age of four. A native Oklahoman, I have fished all across the continental US and in South and Central America. I am a Wisconsin-licensed flyfishing ... moreguide for trout and smallmouth bass in streams in southern Wisconsin since 1993 and developed 1Guide Flyfishing in 2019. I guide for pike, bass, and musky by boat in area lakes. I also guide for seasonal steelhead, brown trout, king salmon, and coho salmon by wading the Lake Michigan tributaries. For targeting Smallmouth Bass in area lakes, I guide from the poling platform of a Hells Bay Professional 17.8 flats skiff. For guiding in the backwaters of river systems, I use either a 15ft Grumman Sport Boat or a 12ft V-bow aluminum skiff. I maintain fly gear for my anglers to use and can highly recommend products from Fishpond USA, Simms Fishing Products, Tibor Reels, Sage flyrods, G.Loomis flyrods, and Airflo USA flylines. I also tie custom flies and build custom fly rods. I frequently travel to the southern Yucatan in Mexico each year to fish for bonefish, tarpon, permit, and snook. I am a passionate conservationist and maintain affiliations with Harry & Laura Nohr Chapter of Trout Unlimited, the Wisconsin Smallmouth Alliance, and the Dubuque Fly Fishers. I retired as a tenured professor in the Art Program at UW-Platteville in 2021 and continue to produce artworks in soft pastel and oil painting mediums.

Flyfishing Trip with 1Guide Flyfishing.com
What a trip!! I caught my personal best size and numbers of smallmouth bass with Steve Vance, guide for 1Guide Flyfishing. His Hells Bay flats boat was dreamy and was very comfortable. He poled along shallows while we both hunted for big bass. I couldn't believe how easy it was to get so close to these fish and make a decent cast. It was one of the best fishing days I've ever had.

The trip review was sent to me via the Contact page on website 8-3-23 and cut/paste here.
My response to the client: Thank you for the kind review. It was a good day for both of us- the weather cooperated nicely with good sun for visibility. The smallies stayed put and ate well too. Thanks again.
