Originally born in New Hampshire, Capt. Rich moved to Colorado in his youth and dedicated many years to fishing some of the American West’s finest and most technical trout streams, specializing on the Roaring Fork River outside Aspen, CO. Following his guiding experience in the Roaring Fork Valley, he chose to make The Florida Keys his home base to explore the abundant fishing possibilities it offers. With a deep passion for angling, he embraces every opportunity to be on the water, equipped with the knowledge that ensures professional and successful outings. He spends every possible moment on the waters of Florida Bay, Everglades National Park, and can be seen as far south as the Marquesas Keys off Key West quite often. Capt. Rich is a FULL-TIME guide in the Florida Keys and is an active member of the Florida Keys Guides Association, a prestigious, invite-only group of the most passionate anglers of this island chain. An advocate for conservation, supporting groups like Captains for Clean Water and Bonefish Tarpon Trust, Capt. Rich truly cares about his home and the waters he shares with his clients. This is an individual who can show you not only the beautiful fish that inhabit these waters but also the incredible landscapes that surround!
