From SE British Columbia and have been flyfishing since I was 12 years old. I learned the most from my high school basketball coach who was also an avid steelheader - I haven’t looked back. The sport evolved over the years and I eventually began rowing rafts and drift boats 14 years ago. Eventually that led to guiding for Ultimate West Flyfishing on the St Mary River(Kimberley,B.C) where I developed my rowing skills in technical water and for the last 12 seasons I’ve been on the Bow River in Calgary, AB. I enjoy helping people experience the sport of flyfishing and sharing memories with amazing people from all around the world.

What an experience! From the stunning views, the beautiful and robust fishery, and the wonderful camaraderie it was an experience I won’t soon forget. I had the pleasure to go with Dan for what was originally scheduled for a half day trip but quickly pivoted to a full day. I cannot speak highly enough of Dan - he is knowledgeable, personable, and an excellent teacher of the art of fly fishing. He takes the time to learn your level and goals and personalizes the trip to ensure you get the best experience possible. I have been lucky enough to take several guided fishing trips but this was hands down the best one I have ever taken. I wish I could give 10 stars for both Dan and the Bow river. We will definitely be back! Tight lines!

Dan is the most positive and professional guide I’ve ever fished with. He always makes the day fun for beginners or seasoned anglers alike, young or less young. He always likes to try different flies and techniques and he’s not scared of adventure. He really likes to get to know his clients and he cares about his clients as people and their life experiences. With Dan a float trip isn’t about a transaction, it’s about the experience and about having fun on the water regardless of fishing conditions! I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend him to any person. His passion of fishing and zest for life really shines through!
