Guides Of Sasquatch Fly Fishing


Picture
Joe Croteau - I have been guiding in Estes Park since 1996.  During the off season I am a High School Social Studies teacher who graduated from Colorado State University.  When I am not in the classroom I am off fishing some of the best holes in Colorado, Montana or Idaho.  My summer home is Rocky Mountain National Park and I know it as well as anyone.  Hop on a trip and learn some of the secrets the Rockies has to offer!

Ali Bair - I came to Sasquatch eight years ago for a fun summer job during college, and have found myself coming back every year since. The fishing, hiking, community, and, of course, the mountains of Estes Park make spending summer anywhere else unthinkable. Over the years, I have fallen in love with guiding. Sharing the coveted craft of fly fishing with so many different types of people has deepened my own love and dedication for the sport. In the off-season, I work as a freelance filmmaker and aspire towards a career in documentary film. I hope to one day produce documentaries about fly fishing culture all over the world, perhaps starting with Colorado.

Sam Rubaker - I am from Western Pennsylvania and this is my 6th year guiding for Sasquatch. I grew up fishing for native brook trout in PA with my dad before finally making my way out West. When I am not here in Estes fishing the backcountry, you can find me exploring the South Platte watershed instead of showing up for class at CU Boulder where I am getting my master’s in mechanical engineering. I can't wait to show you around Rocky Mountain National Park this summer, and you might even be able to convince me to skip a day of classes to take you fishing in the fall.

Taylor Hames -   Howdy! I'm Taylor a Georgia native turned into a Colorado resident. I obtained a degree in recreation from Georgia Southern University and headed west as quickly as possible. Life comes quick. I have three seasons of guiding in Estes, an Appalachian trail thru-hike, and many other excursions under my belt. Let me help you get out there! Book a trip and indulge in all Sasquatch and RMNP has to offer!
