I started guiding in Michigan, fly fishing for trout, steelhead, and salmon. I moved out to Montana. Guided in Twin Bridges, then an opportunity to move to Idaho popped up and I took it. I guided full Time in Idaho, fishing and hunting. I started hosting trips to Belize’s and Mexico in the off seasons. I
Moved to Islamorada 5 years ago. I went back and forth from Idaho to Islamorada for the first 2 years. Now I’m a full time guide here last year I worked 275 days. I also host trips now to Alaska.

Captain Josh was awesome! Mother Nature was not on our side and the Keys experienced an unprecedented cold front while we were there. I decided to fish anyway and Josh made what would have normally been a crumby situation a lot of fun for my wife and I. He taught me a few new tricks, shared some local history, and even made some circles so my wife could snap a few photos of the dolphins playing. We still managed to catch a few fish despite the crazy cold water. Thanks for an awesome trip Josh!

I had a great fishing trip with Captain Josh! I caught a ton of fish and he had great tips for saltwater flyfishing! He was a lot of fun and I plan on fishing with him as soon as I can. Well done!

Wonderful experience. Josh was a great fishing guide. Very knowledgeable, a pleasure to spend a day on the water with, and his boat was clean, fast and comfortable. Major bonus- he guided me to my first ever bonefish, and got it on a spinning reel.
