Marcus Chambers grew up in southern New Mexico where he traveled the United States with his soccer career. He learned how to fly fish in the Gila National Forest with his father. Marcus was the 39th person in the country to complete the Expert level of the Western Native Trout Challenge. After learning how to fish smaller streams he expanded his fly fishing techniques with other pro staffer Mike Berlint on larger rivers like the San Juan River in the four corners area of New Mexico. In 2012 he moved to Hawaii which helped refined his saltwater fishing abilities. He currently resides in Utah where he helps run a fly shop and travels the world on the hunt for native fish.

Lamont Carter-“My dad bought me my first fly rod when I was 16 years old. It took me 5 years of trying, before I actually caught my first fish. At 21 I finally felt like I had enough knowledge about fly fishing that I could work on perfecting my skills. I love to share my knowledge with anyone who is interested, no matter their skill level. The memories that I have made and the friendships that have become because of guiding are truly the best part of the job. Fly fishing isn’t just a hobby to me… it’s an addiction. Lamont has guided in states like Wyoming, Idaho and Utah and is an excellent streamer fisherman. Lamont currently is guiding out of Dillon Montana where he guides for several outfitters on tons of different rivers such as the Big Hole, Beaver Head, Jefferson, Ruby and Madison to name a few

Jeff Hughes

Jeff Hughes grew up in Utah and his passion for fishing started at a young age while chasing trout with his older brother. From small streams to big rivers or big lakes to little ponds, he enjoys the challenge of it all. “I love the challenge of figuring out the different water, there is nothing like the adventure of stepping out to a new piece of water and hitting that first fish!”
He loves to travel and tries to get on the water several times a week to perfect his skill. A 2 or 3-hour drive starting the day at 3:00am is a regular weekend event and his Instagram profile shows it. Jeff also enjoys teaching others how to fly fish and has recently started doing some select guided trips.
