Middle Fork of the Salmon Swamper and Guide
Ian
is a native of the Flathead Valley in Montana where he taught himself
to row inflatable boats on the North Fork of the Flathead River as a
youngster. After injuries kept him from soccer, fly-fishing became his
passion and he is striving to be a fly fishing guide in his native Montana.
His passion extends to an "undying love of nature and constant effort
to become more one with nature."
He is graduated from Montana State University with a B. S. in Business Management and Entrepreneurship that will help with his current livelihood as an apprentice in the craft of timber framing. He is hoping that his combination of skills: as a river guide, timber framer, and fly fishing guide will allow him the time to take advantage of the blue ribbon fisheries and the Class IV rapids of the Gallatin River near his home in Bozeman.
Ian loves kids and loves to cook, which makes him a big hit on river trips. His favorite part of a river trip is around the campfire in the evening in anticipation of plunging into huge, stompy rapids on the river. When asked about what he brings to a river trip, his response is, "Throwing modesty away here - I have an awesome work ethic - as do the rest of the ECHO guides. It is an awesome event to watch 6-10 guides work so well together for extended periods of time."
