Steve Cole comes from a life time of fishing. Steve
has fished these waters from the time he was a
very young man. Steve and his father Bob
and partner Nick were the former owners of Sawtooth Guide Service, a fishing guide service
located in Stanley as far back as the days of legal Salmon fishing opportunities on the
Main Salmon River headwaters near Stanley.
Steve is our mentor and trained several of our guides. He is currently not guiding but some day when he retires from his "real job" we hope to reup his "guide status!" Look for him out on the river. |
