 Wyoming: The Boy Who Wants To Become A Guide!
Posted by kray on January 09, 2005
Hi, my name is Kray Lutz, I live in Glenrock, Wyoming, and my home water is the blue ribbon section of the North Platte River Grayreef and Miracle Mile. I am 15 years old and have a passion for flyfishing like no one else. The past few summers I have had the oppurtunity to work and pretty much run the local fly shop because the guides are always on the river ( where I wish I was), " The Platte River fly shop in Casper WY. The owner Mark has become one of my best friends and I really am inspired by him. Since I am only 15 I can't yet become a guide, but he says when I am old enough I will be the best guide ever and if he could he knows I could guide right now. I love taking friends out in our home made Mahogany drift boat designed by Jason of Montana Boatbuilder. This summer my dad and I will be going to Alaska on a King salmon adventure and I have been wanting to get an orvis TLS for the trip because I dont have a 9 wt. yet and this would help on my
mission to one day have 1 rod of every weight. All the guys at Flies and Fins are really awesome and I,ve watched all there videos a 1000 times each in school when I'm suppose to be doing research, but what can I say when your commited to the core your commited to the core. I think that when I go to college I would like to go to Montana or Idaho and guide as a job maybe on the Henry's Fork section and one day hope to own my own fly shop and guideing service. You can see me on your article when Jason went to Grayreef, I'm holding the brown with my blue guide shirt.
Well if you guys ever make it back over to Wyoming give me a ring and I will take you out on a float on my favorite section.

by jason-c on January 09, 2005 http://www.fliesandfinswest.com | Hey Kray,
Glad to see you put up a post abd thanks for the compliments on the site. You should write up another post about your Christmas trip to Grey Reef. Did you catch any fish? How big were they? What did you catch them on? Anything out of the ordinary happen? Do you have any pictures? I would love to hear about the winter fishing up at "The Reef". By the way I will be taking you up on the float trip. I am going to start making my spring pilgrimage to Grey Reef. I usually go several times during the spring. |

by cmcdm6 on August 07, 2007 | It's awesome that you've got that passion at such a young age. If you think you've got what it takes to be a guide, keep in mind one thing: it doesn't matter how many fish your dudes catch or how many twenty inchers, all that matters is that you show them a good time and that they want to fish with you again. None of the people you fish will be able to fish as well as you do, so your job is it get them as excited about fly fishing as we are. For them it's about the whole experience, seeing moose and eagles, not just catching fish.
P.S. Screw the Henry's Fork, the South Fork of the Snake is the way to go. |
