Mike"the guide"

Mike was born and raised along the banks of the Bayfield River in the heart of Huron County. Mike realized his passion and love for the outdoors at a very young age! At the early age of 12 he was introduced to the sport of fly fishing when an uncle gave him a fly rod to use. Luckily, the neighbors stocked pond played venue for his early success with a fly rod as the easily swayed large-mouths instilled the thrill of catching fish on a fly that has stayed with Mike until this very day! The years following found Mike pursuing all types of fish along the local streams and ponds until he had the opportunity to move to Alberta. Mike fulfilled some of his fly fishing dreams and spent countless weekends camping along the streams of the great Rocky Mountains. The memories of native cutthroat trout sipping his dry fly from the surface of a crystal clear mountain stream will stay with him for a lifetime.  Upon moving back to his home waters along Ontario’s west coast in 2004, Mike started his own guided fly fishing business called Fly Fitters!!

Now, with over 25 yrs of experience on the local streams Mike is eager to share his passion and knowledge of the sport with his clients. With Mike’s easy going nature and upbeat personality it wasn’t very long before his clients were enjoying what the waters of SW Ontario had to offer. Whether it is the pursuit of spring steelhead on a float trip down the scenic Maitland river, a fresh fall salmon walk and wade on the gorgeous Bayfield river, or a feisty smallmouth on the Saugeen, you will definately enjoy your time spent in his company!
