Anthony grew up hooked on fly fishing. His path took him from gold-country waters to Alaska and back to Northern California, where he turned that passion into his career. He leads a crew of hard-working guides who love giving clients a great day on the water. Off the river, he’s either golfing or chasing anadromous fish on the coast.
