Guide

Aron grew up in Saskatchewan and it was the mountains that drew him to Fernie. The clear water of the Elk River and the beautiful peaks that boast massive snow falls, inspired the move over 9 years ago to chase a ski dream. However, the dry fly fishing of the creeks and tributaries solidified the decision to stay. Streamer fishing on his days off for massive bulls and cutty fishing in the evenings after work are part of his daily routine.   Despite being a licensed commercial helicopter pilot and an accomplished carpenter, Aron prefers to be on the river!  “There is nothing that can fully shut my brain off like wading into the middle of a river and just watching a dry fly float down waiting for a rise.”
