Quite simply, I love everything about the sport of Fly Fishing. Whether its chasing steelhead in Alaska or Canada or stalking wary trout on the Deschutes or Metolius, the roots of the sport go deep for me. After 35 years of pursuing fish on a fly I am here to give my time to you. Whether its fixing a little hitch in your cast or understanding a hatch on your local waters, you can trust that I am looking out for your interest in growing with the sport. I am proud of the team we have assembled under one roof and welcome you to the Fin & Fire family!

Growing up in Oregon taught Dave a lot about the outdoors and the trout and steelhead that reside in the local waters. Moving to Idaho and taking a job as a guide on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River trained Dave the technical aspects of running boats and fishing wild rivers in the West.
Instructing new and experienced anglers, Dave will infuse an energy and passion to the day that will give you the confidence that you can fish anywhere with success!

I started fishing at a young age but it wasn't untill I moved to northern California to go to college that I found myself obsessed with steelhead and pursuing them with a swung fly. The northern California and southern Oregon coastal rivers became my home and my sanctuary.
Since moving to bend in 2013 I've loved exploring new areas and find great satisfaction in discovering the secrets different waters hold.
Carp, yes carp get me excited. It's okay, you can make fun of me, I can take it.

For more than 15 years now, John has been fishing the rivers and lakes of Central Oregon and is excited for the challenge fly fishing continually brings. He currently lives in Bend, with his beautiful wife Carol.

Growing up in SW Montana, Jessie was surrounded by some of the best trout rivers in the world. After cutting her teeth in Montana, she learned about a mythical beast called a steelhead and picked up and moved to Central Oregon to live with her now husband Jake. Jessie’s love for travel and adventure has exploded. From Christmas Island to the flats of Mexico, the thrill of stalking fish on the flats is now a passion. She loves to help people find their own adventure and become more confident both as a human, and as an angler.

On weekends, you can find Daniel in the shop helping customers with his kind nature and building friendships one customer at a time.

At an early age Dylan discovered his love of the outdoors. Born in Iowa and later moving to Arizona, he and his family eventually found roots in Southern Oregon. To support his passion for snowboarding and backpacking, Dylan started working when he was just 13. He was given his first fly rod around that same time and was instantly committed to learning everything he could about all aspects of the sport. The Upper Klamath and the Rogue River's became his home waters. Guiding on the river gives him the opportunity to teach the sport that has given him so much peace and enjoyment.

He loves teaching people everything from casting single hand to two-handed rods, learning the bugs in each river and how to select the correct fly patterns to match the hatch. With a seven-year background in culinary, when it comes to riverside meals he loves to impress and is capable of catering to just about any dietary need.
