Taylor Hess

Owner & Guide

“Fishing isn't just a hobby anymore, it's a way of life for me and many of my closest friends and family. This industry has connected me with some of the greatest people and experiences of my life, and I wouldn't imagine trading the opportunity of sharing it with others for anything else. I’m dedicated to giving you the best version of myself, and I’m always looking to improve upon the things I have been handed down to me by mentors, friends, and colleagues. Fishing can be an outlet for the stressors of the real world, so when you couple that with good friends and family, you have a recipe for a dang good time. It's my turn to give that sort of enjoyment to fellow anglers.”
