Meet the Ride
I run a 20 foot Lund Alaskan side console with an E-Tec 90. It is an extremely rugged and stable platform that offers more than ample space for two to cast. She has been outfitted in 2025 with a Garmin Force trolling motor, Abyss lithium phosphate battery, Garmin GT-56 sonar transducer, and Garmin LiveScope forward-facing sonar to help me put you on fish. Monitors are only mounted to the console so you don’t feel like you’re “videogame fishing”.
Meet the Gear
I have a full array of high-end rods and reels from Thomas + Thomas, Sage, Ross Reels, Lamson, Winston, and TFO in weights from 3-12 so we can chase anything from 4” Brookies to the elusive Lake Marlin. I mostly use Rio and Cortland lines, leaders, and tippets. My flies are all tied on Mustad and Fulling Mill hooks. I shop at and fully endorse Stone River Outfitters. Support your local shop!
Meet Me Here
I offer custom charters on Squam Lake and Newfound Lake and wade trips on the Newfound River, Pemigewasset River, and Smith River and a number of brookie streams and ponds. I guide pheasant, woodcock, and grouse hunts from Hill Village to all points north. If you want to hunt or fish somewhere else, give me a call! I can probably make it happen or connect you to someone who can.
