Rick Knight
Rick lives and breathes fly fishing. His passion began at the age of nine, tagging along on fishing trips and later deepening when his dad gifted him his first Winston rod and Hardy reel. More than 40 years later, that enthusiasm remains as strong as ever. Since 2010, he has been guiding on the rivers of Southwestern Montana, helping others experience the same thrill he feels every time he casts a line. When he’s not on the water, he spends his time tying flies, teaching, and preparing for the next season. A dedicated family man, Rick is a proud father of five and a grandfather who loves sharing his passion for the outdoors with the next generation.

Mark Worden
There are very few people that you will ever run into that have been instilled with a love for the sport of fly fishing like Mark has. This was passed on to Mark by his dad, the late Larry Worden. Mark enjoyed many fishing adventures alongside his father, which included fly fishing mountain lakes in Oregon, rowing down the Green River in Utah, and drifting the majestic Bow River that flows through Calgary. With this inheritance worth building on, Mark carries on his father’s enthusiasm for fly fishing as he casts his line on the rivers of southwestern Montana, and looks forward to sharing these gifts with others as a guide, a lifetime dream come true. Mark is also a skilled woodworker, creating custom landing nets to make sure the big one does not get away! When Mark is not on the river in his RO Tailwater Skiff, he enjoys time with his wonderful grandkids, with his friends, and in the pursuit of helping others. Viva Esperanza!
