Billy grew up in Colorado, fly fishing with his parents from a young age. He moved to Montana at 18 and has guided there for the past eight years, primarily on the Kootenai, Missouri, Blackfoot, and Clark Fork Rivers. A dual citizen, he spends part of the summer guiding in Fernie, where he enjoys targeting cutthroat trout on dry flies. In the winter, he guides in South America and spends his downtime surfing and chasing saltwater species.
