Hey this is Billy from DFFG, here's a picture and Bio.
I grew up in the Adirondack mountains of NY and have been fly fishing since I was 5. After taking Mac Brown's fly fishing guide school, I began guiding in north Carolina and did so for 2 years. Just recently I moved to Alaska from Maine, where I continue my love for teaching people how to fly fish.
Growing up in Snohomish WA, I always knew that I had a draw to doing work in the outdoors. Now I am attending Montana State University as an undergraduate in Fish and Wildlife Ecology and Management. Presented with this job as a Denali fly fishing guide, I immediately took up the opportunity to pursue a job that speaks to my outdoor hobbies and interests, as well as allowing me to share them with others. Let’s go catch some fish!
A lifelong Alaskan, I grew up and live in Fairbanks, Alaska. From a young age, I have regularly spent time extensively fishing the Alaska's interiors rivers and streams. When the opportunity to become a fly-fishing guide presented itself, I knew it was going to be a great fit. I enjoy introducing others to both this enjoyable past time and our beautiful state.

He is eager to assist, the shop's fly tyer (and fire stoker) and adds a fun aura when he is on site. Reid works hard to make sure your experience with DFFG is a positive and fun adventure. And interestingly enough, he is of no relation to our Fish Whisperer, Jared.
