Tom Petersen

Tom grew up on Golden Pond chasing large mouth bass in summer and ski racing and ice fishing in winter. When he was ten, Tom's grandfather bet him he would not be as successful at Cold Brook if he had to use his old Montague Fly Rod, and he has been hooked on fly-fishing ever since. Seven years of coaching and stomping the rivers of Vermont did not prepare Tom for the grandeurs of the Mammoth area. He has spent the last nine years finding new and exciting places to fish here in the Eastern Sierra. A dedicated professional instructor, Tom teaches young and old alike the lifelong passion of the outdoors. He is looking forward to introducing you and your family to the fun of high country angling.

Harry Blackburn

Harry has lived and worked in Mammoth since age 18, teaching the sports of skiing and fly fishing. He first came to the Eastern Sierra as a child on a family ski vacation and was "hooked," just as he was after his first catch at age five. Fishing and skiing remain his passions today as a ski coach and professional fishing guide. In his fishing career, Harry has worked as lead guide for the Arcularius Ranch on the famed Upper Owens and he currently guides for Hot Creek Ranch. Whether a seasoned caster or first time fly fisher, Harry will refine your skills, build your confidence and fulfill your fly fishing dreams.

Terry Lucian

Terry moved to Mammoth Lakes over 30 years ago and started fishing and exploring all that the area has to offer. His love for fly fishing started in the backcountry on Fish Creek in 1979 on one of many backpacking trips to that area. A passion to explore many of the trout waters of the west has lead to fishing in all of the western states and a love for spey casting for steelhead in the fall.

John Grensted

Whether it's the solitude of lesser fished waters along the Eastern Sierra's San Joaquin River or the grandeur and spectacular vistas of the Owens River as it spills into Crowley Lake, John has been fishing the waters of the Eastern Sierra since the mid-1950's. Following two years as a casting instructor for the Orvis Fly Fishing School, John began guiding part time and sharing his intimate knowledge of the local waters with clients from all over the world.

Lenny Yee

Lenny moved to Mammoth in 1977 to learn to ski and work for Mammoth Mountain. After the snow melted the next summer Lenny discovered that Mammoth was even more incredible in the summer and has called Mammoth home ever since. Since the age of six Lenny has fished passionately wherever he has lived. Lenny has fished and guided from Alaska to Costa Rica. In 1985 Lenny became the manager and part owner of the Trout Fly, the Eastern Sierra's first fly fishing only shop. Lenny was part of the Eastside Guide Service and has been an Orvis Endorsed Guide. He has been a fly-fishing guide for over 25 years. Lenny’s patience and fly fishing experience has proven him to be one of Mammoth’s top guides. From beginner to expert, Lenny has much to offer in teaching and fine tuning all aspects of fly fishing. His 32 years in Mammoth gives him "local knowledge" few will ever have. Lenny's guiding includes wading rivers, float-tubing small lakes or midge fishing from his 18' Tracker boat in Crowley to packing into the backcountry for Brookies or Goldens. Lenny also offers classes in fly-tying. Lenny has the equipment and experience to show anyone what the Eastern Sierra has to offer in a high-quality fly fishing adventure.
