Guides
Cole
Cole was born and raised in Woodland Park Colorado before relocating to Durango to attend Fort Lewis College. He got his first trout fishing education, growing up on a farm with trout ... moreponds and surrounded by rivers.

Cole graduated from Fort Lewis with a Tourism Resort Management degree and spent some years working in the hospitality and resort industry before taking a position with the San Juan Angler assisting in the management of the shop as well as guiding.

He loves to spend his days off exploring the back country high mountain streams in the area as well as dredging the deep sections of the animas for the big ones.

 (1)
Born in Arvada CO Brad Has lived in Durango for the last 14 years. His fly fishing career of 28 years started out fishing with his Dad. He has tied flies for most of that time as well ... moreand recently was appointed by Umpqua Feather Merchants as one of their signature tiers.

His favorite places to fish are high country streams with difficult access primarily for the peace and solitude.

If not the high country creeks, he loves saltwater flats anywhere, including the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Belize & Florida.

Brad loves to fish small dries to difficult fish. He also pursues pike and carp with a passion.

But some of his greatest moments are teaching kids to fish and catching their priceless smiles from their first success.

People often ask me which camera is best for fly fishermen, and because I'm a smartass, I usually tell them it's the one you actually carry with you on the river.
