Fishing Guide
EBOPP PIC SLACKER

My name is Eric and I’m a licensed New York state fly fishing guide.  I live in and guide around beautiful Ithaca, New York.  My fly fishing experience spans 3 decades and countless river and lake systems throughout the U.S.  Let me share the skills and knowledge I’ve acquired throughout my fly fishing adventures.  Whether you’re a beginner who’s never cast a fly rod or a seasoned vet exploring new waters, I’ll guide you into nature with patience, respect, and a laugh.

Services Offered

Not everyone wants to invest in a half or full day fly fishing trip.  While I love taking people to epic Catskill streams teeming with finicky trout, I also love teaching beginners how to fly cast in a field.  This makes learning fly fishing more accessible and affordable!  My pricing is broken into experience levels.  Find your fit below and then contact me.
