About
Rowan Fly Guide was founded by long time fly fisher, professional photographer and researcher Ro Confrey. Over his 25 years of fishing across North America, and chatting with shops, fishing buddies and river acquaintances, Ro realized that fly fishers, especially those just getting into the sport, want different combinations of information, recommendation, demonstration, and photo-taking than what current sport guiding could offer.

Ro believes that...
- - Even if someone doesn't have the money for a full day guide, that shouldn't stop them from having a great fishing experience
- - Everyone has the right to a honeyhole, so long as they earn it
- - Teaching someone how 'to learn and earn' is better than just teaching them 'how'
- - Everyone looks good in photos - so long as they're holding a big ol' fish
