Mike Bias

Fly fishing is one of Mike's greatest passions. He began fly fishing at the age of 12, and has fished with nothing but a fly rod since. Mike spent his childhood catching native brook trout  in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He fished throughout Maine while attending college. Mike moved out West to attend graduate school and hit fly fishing pay dirt. He lived within casting distance of one of Northern California's great steelhead rivers. Mike is currently guiding on Northern California's wild trout waters. His guiding is "instructional, client-driven, and service-oriented." Mike brings with him a unique connection to Idaho, as many of the stocks of rainbow trout were originally introduced from California's McCloud River. Mike lives with his family in California where he works as a wetland ecologist during the off season.
