Josh, has been fishing in Michigan since he was 5 years old.  His stepfather introduced him into fishing on beautiful Lake Huron in the late 70’s chasing salmon and steelhead, thus a fishing fanatic was created.  Josh’s father lived in Grayling where Josh spent countless days on the famed Au Sable River fishing for whatever would bite. 

Decades later that same boy (he has yet to grow up) has been a first mate on a charter boat on Lake Michigan for 8 years and began river guiding on the Big Manistee 5 years ago.  Plugging and bottom bouncing was the name of the game then and occasionally Josh still drops a plug in now and again.  Josh has rounded out his fishing and entomology experience by working and managing the fly shop at the Pere Marquette River Lodge for the past 3 years.  Fishing and hanging around people like Dick Pobst and guide Jac Ford, Josh has been able to take his passion for fishing to the next level.  Josh’s laid back and easy going approach makes him a great choice for beginners and kids. This guy fishes to live and lives to fish.
