Name: Eric Mannon
Age: 24
Hometown: South Point, OH
BIO: "I grew up fly fishing for trout and bass in many spring creeks and rivers across the Midwest. After graduating high school, I spent four years in the U.S. Coast Guard. Much of this time in the CG was spent in Anchorage, AK...where I was able to gain a lot of experience pursuing my passion for fly fishing on the Kenai Peninsula. The only guiding experience I have has come from taking friends and family out on the river. I have a lot of experience rowing, as I own my own driftboat, and currently hold a 25 ton Masters license through the Coast Guard."
Desired Locations: Alaska, South America

Name: Jarad Skeels
Age: 24
Hometown: Kennewick, WA
BIO: "I spent much of my youth researching, map reading, and putting obscene amounts of miles on worn vehicles in pursuit of desert spring creek trout. In those younger years, I made the best of the local fisheries by also targeting smallies and carp. After playing two years of college football a stone's throw from the Grand Ronde, I hung up my jersey to pursue another lifelong addiction- steelheading. Since then, I've logged insane amounts of time throwing flies to steelhead across many streams in Washington and Oregon. When I'm not fishing I'm usually sitting at the vise tying flies for my next trip. I have a lot of rowing experience but have never run sleds."
Desired Locations: Alaska, Pacific Northwest, anywhere...

Name: Forrest Smith
Age: 25
Hometown: Fayetteville, AR
BIO: "I began guiding on the White River in Arkansas at age 15. After graduating high school, I landed a job in Alaska on the Kanektok River. After two years on the Kanektok, I took a job for Bristol Bay Lodge. I have worked many rivers across western Alaska over the last 6 years and typically return home to guide The White for trout in the offseason. I have over ten years of rowing and jetboating experience. I would like to be a destination guide somewhere other than the states over the course of my Alaska offseason and would love bring my experience to somewhere in South America."
Desired Locations: South America

Name: Garret Blackburn
Age: 24
Hometown: Missoula, MT
BIO: "I began fly fishing at age 10 when I'd spend the summers of my youth in south-central Wyoming. After growing up hunting and fishing, I decided to pursue a higher education at the University of Montana in Missoula due to the recreational opportunities in the area. I began guiding in Alaska 5 summers ago, where I have enjoyed my seasons guiding across many different rivers in the Bristol Bay region. Last spring marked my final semester at the U of M, and I would like to take my guiding experience to another location between my summers in Alaska."
Desired Locations: South America
