The Fisheries
I fish a number of different river systems within a few hours drive of Pittsburgh, PA depending on factors such as: time of year, species, water temperature and levels, and distance to the client. I have spent a great deal of time learning and developing skills on each particular river and section I fish. Safety is always my most important concern. As a drift boat guide, being completely familiar with everything in that stretch of river we're fishing is of utmost importance for safety as well as having a successful day.
