The Bitterroot River After growing up traveling and fly-fishing with my father I selected Missoula, Montana, as an ideal place to gain an education (University of Montana - member of the 2001 National Championship Montana Grizzly Football team and 2004 Big Sky Conference Champion Montana Grizzly Football Team) and learn the tools necessary to help people of all skill levels catch fish.

For me, being on the water, in the boat, is the ultimate office. Montana is the best workplace any angler could ever wish to find. Bringing people to the water to share my passion is why I founded Tug Fishing.
