About Montana Fly Fishing Guides
Eric Adams
Eric Adams has been fly fishing for most of his life; traveling from Alaska
to Brazil with stops to many places in between. Eric's passion for
fishing began by traveling with his parents at the ripe age of two
to northern Wisconsin. This began a journey that has lead him to
numerous states and countries pursuing dozens of species of fish
on the fly. This love of fishing and of the environs in which they
live led him to study and receive an undergraduate degree in Environmental
Biology and a Masters degree in Ecology. Eric's background
ensures that a day on the water is an educational experience with
both fishing and the surrounding ecological landscape.
Eric Adams is the former store front manager of Dan Bailey's fly shop and the Director of Fishing Operations at Yellowstone Valley Ranch. These positions have allowed him to develop an excellent reputation both on and off the water, as well as develop a great group of core fly fishing guides.
In the off season you can find Eric looking for good saltwater fishing, archery hunting elk or searching for good powder skiing.
Perry
has spent the majority of his life guiding fly fishermen in locations
from Argentina to the Florida Keys and here in Montana. His good humor,
patience and unsurpassed fishing knowledge make him a great instructor
for experts or beginners. Perry has been with us for over 10 years
and we guarantee you won’t find a better guide anywhere. Perry winters
at Islamorada in the Florida Keys where he guides flats fishing. If
you're looking for a great Tarpon, Bonefish, Red fish or Snook fishing
experience give him a call at 305.393.4212.
Dennis
Alverson grew up in Big Sky, Montana and has been with us for over
a decade. His knowledge of the fishing in our area is exceptional,
especially when it comes to finding those ‘out of the way’ streams.
With his great humor and fishing knowledge your time with Dennis is
well spent. Dennis is well traveled and in the off season you can find
him making ski turns with fellow guides or planning a trip to an international
fishing location along with his wife and two daughters.
Originally
from northern California, Eric Paramore honed his fishing skills on
the many great west coast trout and steelhead fisheries. Paramore moved
to Montana over 10 years ago and started working for Dan Bailey's Fly
Shop. After several years in the shop we were excited
when he joined our guide staff full time. You'd be hard pressed to
find a guide with a better disposition, infectious humor and fishing
knowledge. Whether you’re fishing the technical waters
of the spring creeks, the Yellowstone River, or rowing the rapids of
the Boulder River you'll find his guidance insightful.
Russell
has spent his life pursuing outdoor experiences ranging from fishing
and floating around the world to horse packing and hunting through
the mountains of Montana and Wyoming. He was chosen as the 2009 Wyoming
Guide of the year. He has been guiding folks in the wilderness of Montana,
Wyoming, and Alaska for 13 years and has numerous stories and experiences
to share with his guests. Russell spends his winters sliding the slopes
and seeking out comfortable climates to relax. He lives in Livingston,
Montana with his wife, son, and dog.
Will was born and raised in North Carolina. He caught
the fly fishing bug at an early age, chasing bass and panfish everywhere
he could. After finishing college, he followed his passion for fly
fishing west landing in Livingston for a summer position at Dan Bailey’s.
The “summer job” started in 1995 and still has not ended.
Will is equally at home on the large rivers, and the more intimate
creeks in the area. He enjoys going the extra mile to find that less
fished stretch of water to provide you with a great angling experience.
During the off season you can find Will out on the prairies of Montana
dutifully in pursuit of his dogs, and hopefully birds.
Zach
was born and raised in southwest Montana, and has been guiding big
game hunters and fly fisherman in Montana and Alaska for more than
a decade. His intimate knowledge of trout and big game make him a valued
asset to our Montana Fly Fishing Guide staff. Your day on the water
with Zach will be filled with informative instruction in a relaxed
fishing atmosphere.
