Ben is from Colorado and spends over 150 days a year on the water. He started fly fishing when he was nine years old and bought a drift boat when he turned 17. One of the most important skills to him as a guide is providing memorable and fun outdoor experiences. Conservation of our natural resources and wildlife is at the heart of his beliefs, which is why he graduated Montana State University in Bozeman, MT as a fish and wildlife ecology major. His home-waters are the Gallatin, Yellowstone, and Madison River. He understands how to read water, has a good understanding of local entomology, and is personable.

Born and raised in the West, Aurorra grew up fly fishing a wide variety of rivers across Nevada, Wyoming and Montana. Since moving to Montana in high school she has gained years of knowledge on the Yellowstone and Madison River. Aurorra graduated from Montana State University with a bachelor’s degree in Community Health and Human Development. When she’s not guiding in the summer, Aurorra spends a lot of her time hunting during the fall and skiing in the Winter. Sharing her passion for the outdoors with others on the river is the most rewarding part of her job. Her enthusiasm, patience, and pure stoke on and off the river will always provide the best experience to all.

Mike is a native Montanan, raised in Helena where he resides to this day. Educated at Western Montana College with a degree in Secondary Education, Mike put his degree to work teaching Physical Education for the past 29 years. Mike hung up his coaching whistle after 20 years and began to spend more time doing what he loves, fishing the Missouri River. With a knack for teaching and coaching as well as sharing experiences, Mike decided to take up guiding during his summer months while still getting his own fishing time in during the rest of the year.

Missoula, MT

Michael Matthews graduated from the University of Montana, Missoula where he played football for the Griz as a lineman and studied marketing. He grew up in Southwest Washington where he fished for salmon, steelhead, trout, and bass. He began fly fishing as a kid in his local ponds throwing poppers to panfish and bass, and my passion for the sport grew ever since. Today, he mostly enjoys guiding his clients down Montana’s freestone rivers with his raft and watches them throw big dry flies to eager trout. He enjoys taking first time fly fisherman and experienced anglers alike because he feels like there is always something to learn and sharing his knowledge of Montana’s streams is the best part of every trip. A trip down the river with Michael is always a good time with lots of knowledge exchanged and even more laughs.
