Guides Of Sasquatch Fly Fishing
|
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.

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 on the Little Red River in Arkansas. I learned how to fish on the big tail waters and look forward to returning the rivers out West each year. This is my third full summer guiding with Sasquatch and cannot wait to be back in Colorado!

Taylor Hames - Howdy! Taylor here, returning to guide for a second summer! I took a hiatus last summer as I was completing a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. II love all things outside, it's my happy place! Sharing passion for these wild spaces is a special part of this job. A day on the water is the best way to soak in all the beauty the Rockies have to offer. I look forward to sharing a day with you!

Jake Higgerson - I’m stoked to say, this will be my 5th year guiding for Sasquatch Fly Fishing! I'm originally from Fort Collins Colorado but am now just traveling around a bit in the back of my Tacoma. I’ve been fly fishing for 9 years now and when I’m not fly fishing I’m usually either climbing, playing hacky sack or training for a bike trip Zeb and I are taking down the west coast this fall. Im excited to see you here this season!

Jacob Gadberry - Howdy and welcome Sasquatch guests! I come from Little Rock, Arkansas and this will be my second summer guiding for Sasquatch. I grew up being a multi-species angler and bass fisherman. I fell in love with the sport of fly fishing as a child, and have been fishing since I was 7, here in the Ozark Mountains and bayous of the Natural State. Fishing is my number one passion, and anything to do with the outdoors. I can’t wait to guide you in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and to share my love and knowledge of fly fishing with you all. Looking forward to giving you that trip of a life time in beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park this summer!!
