Utah Fly Fishing Guide
Hunter Shotwell

Guide Locations: Provo River, Weber River, Logan area and other local/secret streams.
Hometown: Heber City, Utah
Favorite kind of fly fishing: I love getting to the river just as a mayfly hatch is about to go off. There is nothing like being on the water as the whole river comes to life. When lots of insects start to float by all the fish come out of hiding, even the birds come down to the river to devour as many as they can, it’s my favorite time to fish any technique.
Bio and why I like guiding: My uncle once said to me, “One more cast for a fisherman actually means three or four, or seven”. These days I don’t even pretend like I’m about to stop. I started fly-fishing in Utah to get a better look at the colorful patterns sported by our local trout. After I watched the first vivacious creature dart back to the depths I couldn’t help but look for more. Guiding allows me to teach the great sport of fly fishing, share my favorite fly fishing places and make new friends at the same time. Fly Fishing creates a unique experience and offers us something new each day. My passion is to share that experience and make it as rewarding and exciting for everyone involved.
Other interests: Rock climbing, skiing, mountain biking, fly tying and everything else that gets me outside.
Education: Currently completing my Bachelor's Degree.

Additional Info: Hunter is uniquely humble for a fly fisherman. He will always underpromise and over deliver.

Steve Harvey

Guide Locations: Provo River, Weber River, and other local/secret streams.
Hometown: Millcreek, UT
Favorite kind of fly fishing: Dry fly and soft hackle. The next best thing to a big brown sipping your fly is to have one SLAM into a softie on the swing! I also love to stalk big rainbows on the Henry’s Fork River.
Bio and why I like guiding: I love fly fishing! I have had a deep passion for this sport for as long as I can remember. I love to see people smile and their face light up when they catch a fish on a fly rod. There is truly something magical about it. Whether it be instructing a novice or catering to the accomplished angler in search of the most incredible time of their life, my goal is to provide a great fly fishing adventure where we have fun and catch plenty of fish.
Other interests: Fly tying, camping, playing guitar, golf, and spending time with my wife and twin daughters.

Additional Info: Steve has a true respect for nature and the great outdoors. His nickname is "Softie," when he's your guide, make sure to ask him why.

Utah Fly Fishing Guide
Jerry Romney

Guide Locations: Provo River, Weber River, and other local/secret streams.
Hometown: Park City, Ut 
Favorite kind of fly fishing: Dry fly. Hunting out a big fish rising and beguiling it into taking my fly and presentation over a natural one is a rewarding experience. Especially a monster fish in a small stream. I also enjoy nymphing and using streamers when the fish arn't on the rise. I enjoy fishing near and after dark - hearing a fish explode on a dry, or feeling it slam onto my streamer in dim light, is a unique experience.
Bio and why I like guiding: My dad taught me how to fly fish when I was eight. He had a wonderful love for the sport, and passed the passion onto me. Patiently dealing with my tangles and broken rods over the years has gotten me into more and more fish on each outing. He also gave me the ability to teach others the techniques and tricks of fly fishing rivers and still waters. I love teaching others and espcially love seeing them get into nice fish! Often on my clients first or big fish, I think I may get more excited than they do. For me, guiding is all about having fun, enjoying the calmness of where your at, and sharing the experience of catching fish. It is a perfect way to get to know new friends, and show them my favorite fishing spots.
Other interests: Boarding - Snowboarding, Wakeboarding, and Skateboarding. I also love camping.
Education: Currently completing my Associates Degree.

Additional Info: Jerry is a true fisherman. His love for fishing is contagious, so watch out!

Utah Fly Fishing Guide
Gilbert Rowley

Guide Locations: Provo River, Weber River, Logan area and other local/secret streams.
Hometown: Monticello, Ut
Favorite kind of fly fishing: All types of nymphing, but especially European styles as of lately. I love placing my flies in the underwater world, delivering counterfeit meals to hungry fish. When the golden flash of a giant brown trout rolls from the deep I still get excited like it was my first fish! 
Bio and why I like guiding: I got my first fly rod when I was 14, but it wasn't until 2005 that fly fishing truly took over my life. Fly fishing is more than a hobby, its an addiction and I love to share my passion with anyone and everyone who is interested at all. As I pass along the skills that I have acquired, friendships are formed and memories are made. What more could a fisherman want from a days work?!
Other interests: Fly tying, big game hunting, backpacking, basketball (GO JAZZ!), and most of all I love spending time with my wife and two-year old son Andrew.
Education: B.S. Fisheries and Aquatic Science from Utah Sate University.

Additional Info: Gilbert is a Master Fly Tyer. You can learn more about Gilbert's expertise through his Fly Tying website, where he helps all skill levels learn how to tie flies through vibrant YouTube videos, pictures and wording....enjoy! Gilbert also gives fishing reports via the website Trout Fishing Utah.

Utah Fly Fishing Guide
Justin Harding

Guide Locations: Provo River, Weber River, Logan area and other local/secret streams.
Hometown: Highland, Ut
Favorite kind of fly fishing: Nymphing (sub surface fly fishing) has become my favorite fly fishing technique now that I understand the simplicity of the underwater world. I love to fish in the winter too, nothing beats a good winter’s day of fishing, being surrounded with a quiet blanket of snow, and the feeling of serenity.
Bio and why I like guiding: I was 12 years old when I started fly fishing. A friend of my families guided on the Provo and would often take me with him. I learned the skills of fishing young, and enjoyed the sport a lot. As I have developed in my talent to catch fish I now enjoy teaching others. The success of others is now more rewarding than my own success. Expecially if it's when it's my clients first fish. I love the relationship that develops on the river with my clients. I have met people from all walks of life, all joined by the common thread of fishing! Simply put, Guiding allows me to professionally share my passion and knowledge of fly fishing with others…it’s a win-win!
Other interests: Big and small game hunting, wilderness survival, backcountry skiing, fly tying, and Mt. Biking. In the off-season/winters, I work full time selling houses in utah.
Education: B.A. Business-Entrepreneurship from Utah Sate University. Active Utah Real Estate Licence.

Additional Info: Justin has a true passion for teaching other to fish.
