Whether wading Colorado rivers, rowing Wyoming waters, hiking to high-mountain lakes, or tying flies, Josh is always learning. His passion for guiding shines through on the water, driven by a love of helping others connect with nature and the experience it provides. Join Josh as we explore two of Wyoming's most legendary trout fisheries, the Miracle Mile and Grey Reef. We'll break down seasonal fishing opportunities, fly selection, techniques, and what makes each stretch of river unique.

Steve Schweitzer was born and raised in Ohio and spent his younger years fishing his parents' farm pond for bass and bluegill with poppers. At age 7, his grandfather taught him the craft of lure-making and he was hooked ever since. Now, an avid fly fisherman and fly tyer, Steve enjoys backpacking, hiking and fly fishing. Steve is author of the award-winning "A Fly Fishing Guide To Rocky Mountain National Park", and co-authored, "A Fly Fishing Guide to Colorado's Indian Peaks Wilderness Area" with Mike Kruise. His warmwater book, “Designing Poppers, Sliders and Divers” is the most comprehensive manual ever written on top water fly lure making. During the summer months, Steve leads backcountry llama-pack and backpack trips for fly fishing in the high country of Rocky Mountain National Park. Steve is retired and lives in Castle Rock, CO.
