Fish NH Guide Service, a licensed New Hampshire fishing guide service established in 1997.

I have fished, hunted, paddled and enjoyed the great outdoors of New Hampshire as long as I can remember. Over the years of recreation I acquired skills that would lead to my guiding career.
In 1996 I started working for the Fish & Game Department as the angler education coordinator. Basically I taught fishing, fly fishing, ice fishing and basic angling skills.

Other responsibilities were to coordinate a two week long watershed ecology institute.
This institute helped round out my skills as an outdoor interpreter and trip leader.
I was also an instructor for the Becoming an Outdoors Woman. I taught; fly fishing, fishing, game care and cooking and basic canoeing.

I’m constantly working on providing my customers a unique and educational experience.
I primarily guide for smallmouth bass on New Hampshire’s great lakes and smaller ponds. Northern Pike and Largemouth Bass are also favorite targets.

No doubt the fishing is outstanding in New Hampshire. Some of the best smallmouth waters are located right in the center of the state making these great spots easily accessible to you

I will customize your trip to fit you needs or type of experience you seek. Trip types range from fishing on one of the big lakes from my 19 foot boat to a remote fishing and camping trip by kayak.
Whatever trip type you select there will be that extra added bonus of personal attention.
Guiding is about the customer first.

I’m proud to represent Native Watercraft, Thule, Pure Fishing, Rockledge Tackle, Mountain Road Trading Post, New England Woodlands & Wildlife LLC., New Hampshire Guides Association and the Squam Lakes Association

I served three years as a member of the board of directors for the New Hampshire Guide association. During my term I was instrumental in re-writing the organizations by-laws.

I have been a freelance writer for the past tens years. I have been featured in On The Water Magazine and the New Hampshire Wildlife Journal. I’m also a regular contributor to New Hampshire Fish and Game website.
