ERIK WHITE

Erik White was raised in Truckee, California just north of Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Growing up in the Sierras meant Erik was exposed to skiing, hiking, biking and fishing. While studying for his BA in Graphic Arts, his spare time was consumed with whitewater rafting in the Sierras. His enthusiasm for whitewater evolved and spurred a ten year whitewater guiding career, bringing him all over Northern California, Colorado, Arizona, Mexico, and finally to Idaho where he conducted wilderness trips on the Middle Fork of the Salmon. It was the crystal clear waters of the Middle Fork of the Salmon that sparked his love for fly fishing; Silver Creek, Big Wood, Little Wood, and the Big Lost Rivers confirmed this passion. After seven seasons guiding for Hyde Outfitters, the Teton, Henry's Fork, South Fork Snake and Madison are now under his belt. Erik believes that a good day fishing should not only include catching fish, but also should be an escape into the beauty of these amazing rivers!

GEORGE WHITE

I started fly-fishing when I was four years old. My dad would take me fishing for Salmon and Steelhead every chance he got on the fabled Pere Marquette, and Muskegon rivers in Northern Michigan. I fell in love with guiding river trips in West Glacier, MT the summer before my freshman year of college, and knew then that I wanted to spend the rest of my life on the wild rivers of the west. I love catching trout, and I love a great day out on the water with friends. When not harassing trout with hooks, I spend my time with my daughter Ophelia discussing high flows, and lost fish.

I lived within casting distance of one of Northern California's great steelhead rivers.

I'm one of the most fortunate 'sons-a-guns' I know. I'm lucky enough to guide on much of the West's greatest wild trout waters.

While guiding, I split my time among Twin Bridges, Montana and Island Park, Idaho. My home is now in Twin Bridges, MT where I am self-employed as an ecologist.
