My fly fishing journey began in 2013 in the cold waters of Michigan. After taking a short break during my service in The United States Army as an infantry paratrooper, I’ve been full throttle fly fishing in many parts of the country chasing saltwater and freshwater species. I have a passion for teaching and sharing with others. My guiding career began in North Carolina before moving back north. West Michigan offers an amazing variety of freshwater fish to target all within an hour or less drive from Holland, Grand Rapids, or Kalamazoo.

My first experience with a guide and Allen did not disappoint. Been fly fishing for 10 years and he definitely had some helpful pointers to improve my casting. We got in to plenty of fish and he managed to get me one of my personal best pike.

Every time you fish with Allen, you will leave a better angler. I’ve been fly fishing now for over 10 years and I still learn something that improves my game every time. He knows his stuff and he will take care of you. Book your trip with him, you won’t regret it!

TOP NOTCH!! Captain Allen runs a smooth operation from top to bottom. You know when coffee and donuts are waiting for you at the launch ; It is going to be a good day regardless of the fishing. The fishing started all slow and it took me a while to get the hang of the technique, while fly fishing from a raft in moving water. But with Captain Allen’s guidance, I eventually caught on and the bite eventually picked up. Captain Allen was super knowledgeable about fly fishing techniques and about the river systems we were fishing. He was friendly and I really enjoyed our time together on the water! If you want to catch some Michigan river smallies then Captain Allen is your man!

I’ve fished with a lot of guides over the years and Allen is one of the best. He was very collaborative in deciding what waters to fish and what techniques to use. He was safe, offered great suggestions and worked hard to ensure we had a great day. Thanks!
