Enter a little slice of Trout Heaven as we pursue gorgeous acrobatic Steelhead, Trophy Lake Run Brown Trout, and technically rewarding Inland Trout in-and-around famous “Steelhead Alley” and the waters of Western New York. Guiding your memorable fishing experience is my highest priority!
As a mere mortal I can’t control the weather or hypnotically induce trout to strike. What I can do is put you in the absolute best position, physically and technically, to walk away feeling satisfied with your outing! With 2 decades of guiding experience you will be in good hands when conditions turn tough, or soon be seeking out a Masseuse for that sore shoulder when “casting” turns to “catching!” – Dejon Hamann
