Owner & Guide: Bill Holtzer
Growing up in Northeast Ohio, Bill began his passion for fishing with largemouth bass in the many surrounding lakes and ponds on conventional tackle.
At the age of 11 years old Bill picked up a fly rod and fell in love with the sport of fly fishing. Since then, Bill has fly fished across the country from pursuing trout in the Western fisheries of Montana, Colorado, and Wyoming to the Northeast fishing for native Brook Trout in Maine, as well as chasing Tarpon and Snook in the SouthEast corner of the U.S.
Bill is currently attending The College of Wooster, where he plays NCAA DIII Lacrosse. When he is not playing lacrosse Bill’s favorite pastime includes chasing great lakes Steelhead and Smallmouth on streamers and topwater.
Co-Owner & Guide: Garrett Pazey
Garrett started fly fishing at a young age and has been chasing fish with a fly rod ever since. Garrett has experienced fly fishing for many species from trout in the Rockies to redfish in Louisiana but always returns home to chase smallmouth and steelhead in Ohio.
Whether you’re after smallmouth on top water and big streamer eats, or steelhead on the swing or drift, Garrett is sure to provide a fun, knowledgeable day on the water.
