Meet Isaiah

I’m Isaiah Smith, born and raised in the small town of Bonne Terre, Missouri. Fishing has been a cherished family activity for as long as I can remember and has always played a vital role in our family gatherings and traditions.

Although my love for fishing and the great outdoors waned during my time dedicated to playing football, it rekindled with great enthusiasm once my college career came to an end. Since that pivotal moment, all I wanted to do was fish and becoming a guide was truly the only way I could envision living out this passion of mine.

Since I embarked on this rewarding journey of guiding, my love for fishing has only deepened, but I’ve also discovered a newfound passion for helping others in this sport. There are few things I enjoy more than teaching someone how to fish and watching them thrive and succeed. I understand that success looks different for everyone, and I am confident that I can provide you with the very best experience on some of the best fisheries available to us.

A little more…

I am currently based in New Castle, Colorado, where I have the pleasure of running guided fly fishing trips along the beautiful and scenic waters of the Colorado River, the Roaring Fork River, the Frying Pan River, the Crystal River, and the Eagle River. Each of these rivers offers unique opportunities for anglers to experience the diverse and rich aquatic environments that Colorado has to offer.

I also will soon offer guided saltwater fly fishing trips out of Hopedale and Venice, Louisiana, where we primarily target popular species such as redfish, jack crevalle, and sheephead, among others! These trips promise an exciting adventure on the water for both experienced anglers and beginners looking to enjoy the thrill of fishing in these vibrant coastal ecosystems.
