About Us

Dylan, an avid fly fisherman, grew up in the mountains of Colorado, where he explored the outdoors with his two older brothers—skiing, fishing, hiking, and camping. In the summer of 2020, Dylan and his family traveled to Bristol Bay, Alaska, to fly fish for salmon, rainbow trout, grayling, and Dolly Varden, and he instantly fell in love with the experience. Since then, he has worked at Alaskan fishing lodges every summer, guiding and fishing for all five species of Pacific salmon, rainbow trout, Arctic char, Dolly Varden, and grayling. However, it was the rainbow trout that brought him back year after year.

With fly fishing becoming a central part of his life, Dylan moved to Bozeman, Montana, to study Business Management at Montana State University. During the off-seasons, he spent his time fly fishing the world-class trout rivers in the area. After nearly 600 days on the water over two years, Dylan honed his skills in trout feeding behavior, entomology, and fly fishing techniques.

His journey led him to Natural Anglers Patagonia, where owner Nico Fliess offered him the chance to experience Patagonian trout fishing. After the 2024 Alaskan season, Dylan traveled to Patagonia, Argentina for 4 months, where he quickly adapted his techniques while learning the area’s rivers and lakes. He has experienced all that Natural Anglers has to offer, and wants to help others experience Patagonia for themselves.
