Business Owners

Meet Goose and Kaitlyn, the dynamic duo behind Telluride Fly Fishers!

With a degree in fish biology and a wealth of experience, Goose has been guiding for over 25 years, honing his skills in some of the most renowned fishing destinations across the country. His journey has taken him from the rugged waters of Alaska, where he guided for 12 years, to the tropical paradise of the Florida Keys, and back to the mountain streams of Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, and Arizona. Along the way, Goose has cultivated a deep understanding of fish behavior and ecosystems, ensuring that every excursion is not only thrilling but also informative.

During the winter, Kaitlyn can be found on the ski slopes teaching lessons. But when the snow melts and spring arrives, she transitions to office duties or spends her time on the river pursuing her passion for angling. You will often find Kaitlyn with her office sidekick, Hippie, the Newfoundland dog. Hippie’s friendly presence adds warmth and charm to the Telluride Fly Fishers team. Together Goose and Kaitlyn, bring a wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm, and dedication to creating unforgettable fishing experiences for all who join them.
