I started fishing with a fly rod at a very young age using a 5/6 wt L.L. Bean Graphite rod. After a few perch and bass, I was hooked. Years went by and I learned how to tie my first fly somewhere around the age of 12. That’s when I moved onto fishing for stripers with my father and great uncle in Portland’s Presumpscot river. I have always loved everything about being on the water and nothing stopped me from pursuing big fish in heavy currents.  I learned everything from my father who still fishes with me every weekend.

 

I took my passion for fly fishing and carried it with me into my hunting career, which was the most fun I could have when not fishing. From chasing ducks and geese, to upland birds, deer, turkey and coyotes, I never sat still. In 2007, I moved out to Alaska to fly fish and became a guide for rainbow trout and salmon. At the end of the 2008 season, I came back to my roots here in Maine and focused all my energy on becoming a great outdoorsman. 

 

Old Oak Outfitters is the outcome of all that time, money and effort. Built on pride, passion and a love of the outdoors, I have enough experience that I don’t get caught up in the fads of the outdoor world, and I am going to work hard o get you on the fish and game we pursue.  At the end of the day, my number one goal is to keep you safe and to make sure we have a great time so you will be back next season to enjoy more time in the Maine woods and all it has to offer.
