Guided by Angler's Choice Fly Fishing
Austin, Texas • 1-2 years of experience
I parted ways with a 10+ year career in hospitality as a sommelier to pursue my passion for fly fishing and teaching. Growing up I’ve spent summers in Colorado, right outside of Lake City. Ruidoso and Northern New Mexico were in my backyard and many young memories were made there. I started fly fishing the Texas Hill Country in 2018 when my father gifted me a fiberglass rod, and never looked back. I’ve expanded my species list and knowledge since then, having fished the Texas coast, and all over the Hill Country. I specialize in hunting for all types of bass, cichlid, sunfish and gar. There are many ways to escape city life and enjoy what the Texas Hill Country has to offer. I encourage all skill levels to enjoy time on our Texas waters. I offer instructional lessons to help anglers prepare for their next adventure as well. Let’s get you on the water!
