Mike grew up in the shadows of the Wasatch Front.  His love for the outdoors and athletics has been with him his entire life.  Mike played and coached baseball at the University of Utah before opening a fly shop and guide service with his dad and brother Marty in 1986.  Mike was one of the very first fly-fishing guides on Utah’s Green River, (way back when all the roads were dirt).  He has fished for trout in Alaska to Chile and Argentina.  Has thrown flies in the Salt of Belize, The Bahamas, Christmas Island, and many other countries where the flats are crystal clear.  He loves his trout and salt water fishing, but his real true love is having his 13’3” Winston in his hands swinging for steelhead.  Strike up a conversation with Mike in the shop about steelhead and he will try to talk to you about it all day.  You will find Mike mainly in the shop, “I love the great people that come into our shop to talk fly fishing”.  His knowledge of fishing the Provo, which he started back in the late 70’s is extremely valuable to all of us.  His two main fishing partners are his two kids McKay and Sofie.  Steelhead camp in the fall is his church and along with family and friends is his favorite place to be swinging flies.  Mike also coaches baseball at Park City High School in the spring.
