Connor McIntyre

Originally from Minnesota, Connor grew up around water. He was fortunate enough to learn to fly fish at a young age. Connor started guiding the North Platte when he was attending the University of Wyoming. After his stint in Wyoming he decided to move down south and start guiding the legendary San Juan river.

Connor has spent the last seven years guiding on the San Juan river in New Mexico. Having recently moved to Asheville, he brings technical fishing skills and a laid back attitude to the water.

In his free time Connor likes to explore new water ways and hike with his girlfriend, Claire, and their two dogs, Wheeler and Forest.
