Rick Wollum

"The Mayor of Myrtle"

Rick started flyfishing at the age of six, at an uncle's cabin in Minnesota for bluegill. Flyfishing quickly became a lifetime pursuit in Colorado, with Rick spending a lot of time fishing Colorado's South Platte while he attended Denver University. He then started guiding with mentor Steve Herter at Elk Trout lodge in Colorado, and later in Wyoming, Utah, and Montana. Rick guided Jackson Hole's One Fly for ten years, and also spent many summers guiding on Montana's Bighorn and Yellowstone Rivers. Later, Rick went on to host ESPN's FLY FISHING AMERICA, traveling and fishing extensively around the U.S. Rick has fished for trout, steelhead and salmon all over the world,and his vast knowledge of tackle, techniques and places to go makes him a great asset here in our shop. If Rick has one passion in fishing, it's steelhead fishing with two handed spey rods. Rick is a great fly tier, and his classic spey flies are works of art. In the off season Rick has been working as a ski instructor at both Big Sky and recently at Bridger Bowl, where he now teaches skiing during the winters. Rick guides under Outfitter Henry R. Bechard 671 Green Tree Dr. Belgrade, MT 59714. Henry's outfitter license is #10368.
