Morgan is originally from Los Angeles, CA where he grew up playing hockey and enjoying the beach life. After high school, he went to Arizona State University to study civil engineering. During his college years, he started fly fishing in northern Arizona and southern Colorado every chance he had and the addiction has grown from there. After a few years fishing around Arizona, he took a job as a guide in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Five years of guiding and four ski seasons later, he finally decided to move to Cotter to further pursue his career in the fly fishing industry and chase fish year round. 

Logan was born and raised just a few miles north in West Plains, MO but considers the White and Norfork Rivers his "home waters". Logan had a fly rod in his hand from the moment he could walk and was taught by his late father who instilled the love of the sport into him. Logan spent the first 7 years after college as a Junior High and High School special education teacher but the river kept calling his name. Logan soon found himself working in a local fly shop on weekends and during summer break. It didn't take long until Logan was guiding and working in the shop full time. Since being an educator, Logan is now using his skills to teach others how to fly fish and how to catch our trophy browns. When not in the shop or guiding, you can still probably find him on the river enjoying some time on the water with his family.

Alex comes to us from our neighbor to the East, Tennessee. Alex grew up in the Memphis area but has also spent time in and around Nashville. Alex helps run the day to day in the shop and has been a great asset. Alex is one of the "fishiest" guys we know and we are excited to have him on our team!

Paul is originally from the Kansas City area but at times has lived from Texas to Alaska. Growing up Paul was an avid bass fisherman, fishing pro-am tournaments around the Midwest. Paul went on to study Fisheries and Wildlife Biology at Kansas State University. After college Paul spent nine years guiding on the world famous waters of Bristol Bay Alaska at Alaska Rainbow Lodge. During the off seasons from guiding in Alaska, Paul has been a commercial fly tyer specializing in our favorite, large streamers. After many years of coming to fish here, Paul decided the White and Norfork were too incredible to not call it home full time. When Paul isn't guiding you can find him spending time with his wife and son on the river!
