OUR GUIDES
MIKE KAUL
Mike Kaul, a western Wyoming native, started fly fishing at age 8 under the tutelage of his grandfather on the renowned Green and New Fork Rivers. He has taken every opportunity in the past 48 years to cast a fly to wily trout that inhabit the many streams around Pinedale, which flow from the Wind River Mountains. Mike has studied and practiced the craft of fly fishing and has introduced the sport to many individuals over the years. He is a Federation of Fly Fishers Certified casting instructor and conducts a fly fishing school in the Pinedale.
Mike specializes in wade fishing and enjoys working with beginners, introducing them to the delights of stalking trout along a beautiful stream bank. He feels the ultimate fly fishing experience is moving along a pristine trout stream, finding a shy trout, choosing the right fly, making the correct approach, executing a well placed cast, seeing the bubble and feeling the tug of a feisty trout on the line. Fishing with Mike you will learn a lot
about wade fish tactics and most important enjoy the magnificent solace of a high mountain trout stream.

BRAD HARTLEY
Brad Hartley was born and raised in the Rocky Mountain West, fishing most of it from Canada to Mexico. After moving to the Jackson Hole, Wyoming area in the late 1980's, he bought an old drift boat and began his lifelong dream of becoming a professional fishing guide on the Snake and South Fork rivers of Wyoming and Idaho. Three boats and many years later, he is still at it. Feeling the need for more space and bigger fish, Brad move to Pinedale in 2001 and has dedicated thousands of hours to learning the nature of the Green and New Fork river systems.
Always looking for and designing new patterns and techniques, Brad will strive to make a trip in his boat a memory that will last a lifetime. Some of the tactics he uses may seem odd to the experienced fly-fisher, but come with an open mind and he will teach you what he has learned not only as a pro guide, but also from the many hours he spends on the water during his time-off. Husband, father, and grandfather - Brad spends the winter ice
