James Anderson

"Jamie"

Born and raised here in Livingston Montana, "Jamie" was exposed to the outdoors early on. Fishing, hunting, and skiing were what his Dad liked to do, hence what he grew up doing. Even before he could walk Jamie joined his father on fishing expeditions. His first real fishing was chucking spinners at DePuy's pond with his Dad and grandfather, Joe. Not much later he began helping out at the Yellowstone Angler. Early job opportunities included picking up cigarette butts for a penny a piece and swatting flies. Through high school he learned the ins and outs of shipping and receiving, retail sales, inventory control, folding t-shirts, and putting gold stickers on the free bee fly boxes. Before coming back to manage the shop, James spent several years living and working in Asia. He also spent a couple years in Dallas and San Diego. James has been lucky enough to fish in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Cuba, Belize, the Keys, Alaska, and Sri Lanka. He has never caught a steelhead or an atlantic salmon. He is dying to fish New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, Brazil, China, and Sierra Leone. Now he works in the shop the majority of the time as general manager but also enjoys the opportunity to guide some of his old clients from time to time. James is his own outfitter: 1.
