Crowley Lake Guide Service was founded in June of 2007.  I had been guiding for several years with another local guide service when I decided that I could offer more to my customers by branching out on my own.  My main goal is to put you on the fish, without you having to worry about any of the details.  That is why I supply you with all of the top end gear you will need, along with our custom flies, refreshments, snacks, and lunches.  Being independent also allows me to work around the wind and weather problems that can pop up in the Eastern Sierra Mountains.  If the weather is too miserable to have a good day on the water, we will shorten trips to half days, reschedule for another day, or simply refund your deposit.  I will be happy to work with you to get the most out of your trip.

I grew up fishing the great lakes for Trout, Salmon, Pike, Musky, Walleye, Perch, and Bass around Detroit Michigan.  I retired from the computer industry in 2001 and moved up to the Sierras where I discovered Crowley Lake.  I soon got a part time job helping manage Crowley Lake Fish Camp where I was able to fish the lake 4 or 5 times a week.  In 2003, I began guiding on Crowley with another Eastern Sierra guide service.  I can handle up to three people in my 21 foot Champion Bay Boat.  In the off season, you can find me heading south to tie flies and make Screw-Balls down in a small town called Aberdeen which is just south of Bishop.
