As a pioneer, my great-grandfather Edward Martin first crossed the Green and New Fork Rivers in 1847. Since reading about his journey, I have become fascinated with the history and fishing in Wyoming’s upper Green River Valley.
A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, I spent my early years with my family at our cabin near the East Fork of the Bear River on the Utah-Wyoming border. I spent most weekends searching for hidden beaver dams and casting hoppers to unsuspecting trout.
The drive to find hidden hot spots was all-consuming and often required sprinting home to make it back in time for dinner. The unintentional workouts led to a track scholarship, the fifth fastest all-time University of Utah record in the 400 Meter, and a degree in Economics.
I took a fly fishing class in my final quarter of college and haven’t put the fly rod down since. My passion drifted to two-handed rods and fishing the Clearwater River for B-run steelhead.
For the last 28 years, you would likely find me in the offices of my property management company, working with condominium, apartment and small commercial offices along the Wasatch Front and Park City. I spend my free time with the love of my life, Julie, and our pets, Finley and Theodore.

Alec grew up in Yellowstone as a native to the region. He grew up between Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming and rotated between all states the Great Yellowstone Ecosystem touches. From a young age, he fell in love with fishing. His parents often joke that he was “born with a rod in his hand.” His dad, an avid fisherman, taught Alec to cast a fly rod at ten years old. In high school, he turned to fly fishing as his preferred angling technique, as it claimed a permanent place among his priorities. Even while serving in the U.S. Army, which involved a 2013 Afghanistan deployment, Alec found time for fly fishing. Stationed at Fort Drum, New York (in upstate New York), he pursued numerous cold and warm freshwater fish species. He fell in love with chasing smallmouth bass with a fly rod in particular. After the Army, Alec attended Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. To fill his summers, he worked as a fly shop retail employee, fly shop manager, and fly fishing guide (out of West Yellowstone, Montana, and Bozeman). Trout competed with school for his top priority during these years, resulting in countless memories of chasing fish across southwest Montana, Yellowstone Park, Idaho, and Wyoming. From 2021-2022, after graduating college, Alec returned to Cody, Wyoming and guided two full seasons. In 2022, he made a career shift and started teaching high school English, along with coaching basketball, while also launching an outdoor content writing career specifically focused on fly fishing stories and projects. Alec has a love for fishing and teaching others the sport of fly fishing. His life’s work is to inspire others to grow relationships with our amazing fisheries and protect them for future generations.
Harley was born and raised in Preston, Idaho and has lived in the Cache Valley his whole life. He comes from a long line of fishermen. Harley has fished all the lakes and rivers around the Preston area with his father, his Uncle Tom and his Grandpa Don. He also fished the Grey’s River in Wyoming every year from the age of three. He was raised on spin fishing until he took up Fly fishing and hasn’t been able to stop since.
Harley decided to turn his passion into a profession. He attended guide school in Warm River, Idaho. With the help and support of his family, he fulfilled his dream of becoming a professional guide in the spring of 2023. Harley took his first guide job at Island Park, spending the summer with his family, guiding walk and wade trips until his dream of getting his own drift boat came to fruition. After the fun-filled summer of 2023, Harley accepted the role of fishing guide in Pinedale, Wyoming. He is fulfilling a dream that his dad, uncle and grandpas would have loved to do.
Mike was born and has been fortunate to live in Wyoming all of his life. His first fishing expedition was with a Willow stick on the Big Sandy River in the Wind River Range at the age of four.

With a name like Vinnie you’d think he’s from New Jersey. Well, he is. Vinnie grew up fishing the trout streams of New Jersey and the saltwater opportunities it provided as well. Being surrounded by water in his home state, what else was there to do but leave? After college he left for the Smokey Mountains, for a few years, to guide the small streams of Appalachia. Then arose the desire for big rivers and mountains. Vinnie then headed even further west to float the North Platte River in Saratoga, Wyoming. After seeing what these mountains and rivers have to offer, you don’t have to wonder why he left New Jersey. When Vinnie is off the water, you can bet he’s bird hunting or snowboarding in the mountains.
I grew up in Wisconsin and spent my time fishing lakes and rivers for everything from musky to bluegill. My family has a cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where I enjoyed fishing and hunting while growing up. My family would take trips to Wyoming in the summer to fish for trout, and I knew that, eventually, I would make my way west. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point with a degree in fisheries, and I spent my summers working in Idaho and Montana.
I got my first guiding job in Washington fishing for rainbows, cutthroats and chinook salmon. I also spent time living in Florida doing research on various sportfish, and I love to travel in search of new species. Since high school, I have been taking yearly trips to the Wind River range, and chasing alpine trout has become one of my greatest passions.
I also started doing artwork when I was in high school, and I have continued to work on it over the years. I have a few pieces for sale up in the shop, and I hope to continue improving and trying new things. I also love upland bird hunting, chasing grouse around Pinedale, and chasing turkeys and deer back in Michigan. I really just enjoy doing all things outdoors, and sharing my passion for fishing with others.
With 20 years of fly fishing coast to coast under his belt, David has learned a thing or two about catching trout. Whether chasing small stream brookies or big river browns, David wants to share his passion and knowledge with anyone who will lend him an ear. Having spent his summers in the Pinedale area most of his life, it was only a matter of time before he jumped behind the oars for Two Rivers.
Outside of fishing, David can be found hunting behind his bird dog, Baby, as well as hiking around with his bow, staring at the mountain tops. David is excited to call Western Wyoming home finally.
Jack first came to Pinedale to fly fish at 12 years old, an experience that left a lasting impression and sparked a lifelong connection to Wyoming’s rivers and wide-open landscapes. He learned to fly fish on the coast and in the mountains of western North Carolina, spending years on freestone streams targeting wild trout and developing a strong understanding of reading water, presentation, and seasonal patterns. Those early experiences built a foundation that continues to shape the way he fishes and guides today.
In the off-season, Jack works as a helicopter pilot, bringing a high level of situational awareness, professionalism, and safety-focused decision-making to every guided trip. On the water, he enjoys guiding anglers of all experience levels and focuses on building confidence, refining technique, and creating memorable days in a spectacular landscape.
Whether floating the Green River and the New Fork or wading local waters around Pinedale, Jack is committed to providing thoughtful instruction, clear communication, and an authentic Wyoming fly fishing experience.
Originally from Charlottesville, VA, Pat’s career in guiding began in 2007, when he answered a newspaper ad while a college student at Montana State University. Becoming a whitewater guide on the Yellowstone River that summer changed the trajectory of his life and opened doors that he never could have imagined. Fueled by his love of new experiences and working outdoors, Pat’s eclectic guiding resume includes pack trips in Montana’s Bob Marshall Wilderness, whitewater fishing on the Middle Fork of the Salmon, multi-species fishing expeditions in Alaska’s Togiak National Wildlife Refuge, and heli-skiing the Ruby Mountains of Nevada. When Pat’s not enjoying the rivers, mountains, and small town living of Pinedale, you can find him camping on the Smith River in Montana, ski patrolling at Utah’s Alta Ski Area, or trying to find the best local food wherever his travels take him.
