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 5th year guiding for Sasquatch. I grew up fishing for native brook trout in PA and have fallen in love with fly fishing for the native Greenback Cutthroat here in the Rockies. When I am not here in Estes fishing the backcountry, you can find me fishing the PA and OH tributaries of Lake Erie for steelhead. Between trout and steelhead, I spend most of the year fishing or guiding, and it is still not enough time on the water. I can't wait to explore Rocky Mountain National Park with you this summer!

Lindsay Lifka- Being from the great city of Chicago you'd probably ask yourself how'd I make my way out west? Well, I've been visiting Estes Park and RMNP for over fourteen years and my passion for fly fishing has blossomed into a love for putting clients on fish! One day, lets fish together!

Ben West - This is my third season guiding with Sasquatch. I grew up just outside of Fort Collins, Colorado and recently graduated from Saint John’s University in Minnesota. My grandpa was the first to put a fly rod in my hand about 7 years ago and I haven't looked back since. Exploring the beautiful fisheries of Northern Colorado has set me up for a lifetime of chasing trout. Can't wait to see you on the water! Tight lines!

Jason Rieke -I grew up in Rochester, Minnesota and became a trout bum during my time in college. In May 2018 I graduated from Winona State University with a degree in composite materials engineering and a week later I hit the road for Colorado where I have lived ever since. The fishing has been so good that I have yet to use my engineering degree! Over the last 3 years I have spent more than 100 days per year fly fishing for trout and I strive to share what I have learned with everyone that I take fishing. This will be my third season guiding with Sasquatch and I can’t wait to share some time on the water with you!

Jessica O'Sullivan - I was born and raised in Northern California at the base of a mountain. I grew up in the outdoors hiking and snowboarding whenever I could. Being an outdoors person I look forward to finding new adventures all the time. Including my recent move to Denver, to study Civil Engineering at Metro State in the fall. This will be my third summer at Sasquatch and I can't wait to get there and get started again!

Shane Smith - ​I am a 5th grade math teacher from Fayetteville, Arkansas where I run a fly fishing club after school.  I have been fly fishing for 15 years and was self taught.  I grew up fishing many different types of water and love fishing the big waters alone, although some friends think I shouldn't.  This is my second full summer guiding with Sasquatch and cannot wait to be back in Colorado!

Jessica McKay -This is my second summer guiding for Sasquatch! I was born and raised in Northern Minnesota. I’ve always been a traveler and outdoor enthusiast. My traveling has taken me backpacking the mountain of Montana, surfing the waves of California, climbing the rocks and exploring the canyons of Utah and NOW fishing the rivers of Colorado. I graduated December 2018 from Winona State University as a Registered Nurse. I fell in love with fly fishing and the Rocky Mountains and decided to stick around for another summer! Looking forward to helping you find your passion for fly fishing!!!!

Jake Higgerson - I was born and raised in Fort Collins. Just last year I graduated high school and have decided to take a few years off to do what I love ( Climbing and fishing ) before starting college. I’ve been fly fishing for six years and this will be my third season guiding for sasquatch and I’m super excited! I love fishing small creeks because they are so technical, but fishing lakes in the afternoon as the sun is setting is always an amazing experience.  After this season i'm heading to live in australia for a few months through a program called WWOOF.

Nate Stone  - I was born and raised just outside of Saint Paul, MN and this will be my second year guiding for Sasquatch fly fishing! My father was the first one to introduce me to the sport of fly-fishing at the age of 9 and I have been going strong ever since. I have recently graduated from Saint John’s University in MN with a degree in Biology/Environmental Studies and can’t wait to spend the next months out on the water. Looking forward to great fishing and memories with you, cheers!

Kristian Koenig - I come from the suburbs of Chicago in IL and last summer I started developing my love for fly fishing with some guides from Sasquatch. This past December I graduated from Winona State University with a degree in Secondary Math Education and Spanish. This Spring I served as a math teacher in Whitehall, WI and hope to land another teaching position for the 2019-2020 school year. Along with fly fishing I love spending my time outdoors rock climbing, hiking, backpacking, camping, and mountain biking. Sharing my passions with others is something I really enjoy doing and will continue to do through my first full year with Sasquatch. I can’t wait to help you create unforgettable memories in the Rockies and catch some beautiful fish!

Taylor Hames - I grew up in the foothills of Appalachia in Tallulah Falls, GA where my love for all things natural (especially water critters) bloomed and flourished. Growing up I spent a lot of time in and around our waterways and this has since followed me into adulthood. Recently, I completed a degree in Recreation and Tourism management from Georgia Southern University. I am planning on pursuing a Master’s of Wildlife and Fisheries Management in the near future. I am so excited to be spending another summer in Estes’s Park and my first summer with Sasquatch! Looking forward to getting out on the water with you and soaking in all the beauty these mountains have to offer!

Waverly Seale- Growing up in Oregon, I have spent a lot of time in the outdoors hiking and skiing. My family has been visiting the YMCA of the Rockies for many years, and over that time I have slowly grown a love for fly fishing. This is my first season with Sasquatch. I am excited to get started an see what adventures this summer takes me on.

Anneliese Hruschka - I have quite literally grown up coming to Estes Park and fly fishing with the crew, so you can trust my passion runs deep. I have a profound love for the outdoors and any activity that involves nature. I will be starting my junior year in college this fall, but until then I am so excited to see what this first summer in Sasquatch has in store for me

 Kit Jordan -  I’m from Portland, Oregon and I am super excited to be guiding trips this summer! This is my first year working at Sasquatch and I can’t wait to get fishing! I grew up doing anything I could outdoors and I’ve been in love with fly fishing ever since I picked up a rod and learned how to cast and catch fish. I’m a student at the University of Oregon studying environmental science, but I can’t wait to get to Colorado and explore the rocky mountains. Let’s fish!
