At 5 years old, Paul started his fishing career in New Zealand. With his father, he would spend his days chasing anything with fins. Forty years later, his passion for fly fishing continues to thrive. Paul now guides over 220 days a year and has an extensive list of respected long term clients. These clients have been influenced by Paul’s natural enthusiasm and knowledge of fishing.He is now a full time guide, living in beautiful Oregon with his wife and four boys (two of which are dogs). Paul guides Southern Oregon’s moody, technical waters for eight months of the year. He then returns to New Zealand where he specializes in backcountry sightfishing of trophy browns and rainbow trout. You won’t likely see Paul on one of his days off. He will be deep in the backcountry exploring new waters and looking for what might be around the next corner.

It all started for Lucas when he was 20 years old hitchhiking around Alaska, not knowing he would stumble into his dream career. He ended up in the little fly fishing village of Cooper Landing where things really started to progress. Lucas worked his way up to head guide at Alaska river adventures and worked there over the next ten years. He and his wife started a family and decided to make Oregon their forever home. He'd fallen in love with the Rogue River, the fish and the wonderful people around it.
Brandon comes from a family whose roots run deep on the Rogue on the River. His childhood was spent on rafts and drift boats and he's been working on the Rogue River since he was sixteen. He's very passionate about fly fishing and taking care of the fish here in the Rogue. Brandon gets a kick out of watching and assisting guests land fish.
